I was kind of inspired for this post by a girl who wrote about her journey with mental illness. Yes, I know for sure that I have also been exposed to the truth that I have also struggled with it. There have been days where I feel absolutely hopeless, losing interest in the things I once loved. Just utterly depressed and wanting to escape my life. I had no real reasons to feel this way.. I just did. I know now that I should have gone to the doctor about this.. but instead I decided to pray. I decided to talk about it with my husband and now with some close friends.

It's more common then we think.

As you may have been journeying with my through my blog; I have noticed the sense of hopelessness in my past posts. It was so real and so convincing that my life sucked. So much that inside I felt like I couldn't take it any more.

Again, I decided to pray; to be in community, sharing the struggles and anxieties that I still wrestle with has also helped my mind recover. It's going to be a long process but I'm all ready enjoying life more then I even thought I could.

God is good and is the ultimate healer.

There are still bad days, but right now there have been a lot more that are good.

I've allowed myself to enjoy the small things. Enjoying my husbands laughter, enjoying the conversation between friends, enjoying family, enjoying a beautiful sunrise.

There is so much to be thankful for. I am truly blessed and loved.
