Life is tough, but so are you!

If you didn't know me and you saw this girl, what is one of the first things  you would notice or assume about her just by looking at her? Confident, beautiful, sweet, silly, caring, eager, good friend, happy, genuine, kind, crazy, loving, funny, sincere, authentic, patient, thoughtful, bright hilarious, friendly, conscientious, considerate When I asked friends and family to use one or two words to describe me, the words above are some of the answers. Notice none of them say sad, depressed, down, broken, anxious, despair, emotional.  Unless you are pretty close to me, you would never know that I actually suffer from severe depression and anxiety.   Many would never believe that I take two kinds of depression medication daily. No one would know that that there are many days that I literally have to FORCE myself to get out of bed and that more days than not I physically hurt. A boyfriend even used to say that I was “too happy” in the mornings when I would wake up! T
