0 Powering through it all

Lately I have been in a depressed mood due to everything that has been going on. I have been having so many flashbacks of everything that it's really starting to take a toll on me in more ways than one. I have been having so many panic/anxiety attacks, I am so short fused that it's not even funny and I have been just biting almost everyone's head off. This is usually not me and I know that, that's why I went and got help for it. I went and got on antidepressents/antianxiety meds. A lot of people don't think that you should take them, but you know what, I am a firm believer that they can help and with you helping yourself as well you can pull through it.

I have been through all of this before, I have been put on these meds before as well, I used them until I didn't need them anymore. I learned coping skills to help me through everything before and now those coping skills are no longer helping, so I have to either learn new ones or with the help of the meds and the coping skills that I use. I can't keep going through this, I have to make myself stronger for myself and my family.

Never feel like you are never going to get through anything, because you are and it's going to make you so much stronger than you actually think. I know that for so many years I thought that everything that I went through (which was pretty much my whole life) that I was nothing but a weak person, but in the end I learned that I was actually a lot stronger than I thought that I was. I don't take any kind of crap from anyone anymore, no one talks down to me and if they do, you better believe that I dish it right back out to them. I don't even allow people to talk down to any of my friends either (male or female). If I live close enough, you better believe that I just right into the middle of it and I let it be known. When I am able to, I would love to go and volunteer at like the YWCA or something.
