Bursting My Happiness Cherry...

[My****]

Hello, I'm new to the site, not sure how active or interactive this site is, open to all possibilities ?

Wanted to share a meaningful first post, introducing one of our blog post...

Here is an account of someone with depression & anxiety and how they will start their day before going into work…

I cry because I wake up and nothing has changed, the demons are still present, voices still loud in my head.

I cry because I wake up and have to face another day of fake smiles, laughter and interactions with people who have no idea I’m struggling.

I cry because I wake up and have to think of a reason to get out of bed. To me, everything feels pointless. I finish my tasks and try to push forward only so I don’t disappoint the people around me. I don’t want them to see me in pain. I don’t want them to worry.

I cry because I wake up and feel utterly alone, although my sister is sleeping only a few meters away from me. I feel like there’s a huge black hole of emptiness in my chest that won’t ever go away.

I cry because I wake up and can’t endure the pain that comes from the thought of doing this forever. I am scared this will never change.

For some... mornings are tough, regardless what day it is - reach out if you see someone struggling at work!!

Me too sometimes I hope you can find happiness within yourself and press on.
