I have slight anxiety and depression. Back in October even, I was feeling pretty low. I would scroll on Facebook and compare my life to others even though I know why they call it fakebook, watching my ex fiancé move on to a different girl after 5 months after he told me I was the love of his life, and the guy I started to care for not text me back. I realized something needed to change because I started to physically feel and get sick because of the depression/anxiety so I began to become my own counselor in a way along with the support of my closest friends and family. In the last 4 months I joined a gym, been involving myself with my passions, and learning how to work through my jealousy issues/love myself for who I am instead of what I’m “lacking.” Essentially changed my lifestyle and learning to change my mindset. From eating Taco Bell every day, I’ve made a point to be mindful what I eat plus working out at the gym has given me drive and confidence I haven’t felt in years. Being in the relationship with my ex truly tore me down to the lowest I think I’ve ever been both from his end and my insecurities I’ve never fully dealt with. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely still have my down days, but here I am standing without him feeling more confident in myself and independent than I’ve ever been. It’s so true you can’t learn to fully love someone else until you learn to love yourself 💕 be strong! (The photo is from July 2018-January 2019 😊)
