Trigger Warning!
I know the lies that depression will tell you. I see them. I will never listen to them. But sadly so many do. It is heartbreaking.
There are people in the BreakFree23 community that feel alone. They feel isolated in their thoughts. They feel that no one will care.
I care. I truly do.
What I write is raw, and real. It is also just a moment in time.

I created BreakFree23 in order to have a safe space to discuss mental health awareness and the ups and downs of life. My hope was to let people know that they were not alone in their journey. If I could reach one person who felt consumed by the dark, to let them know they are needed, the site would have fulfilled its purpose.
Most of you know that I live with depression. Some days I am clear on how to move forward, then there are days like today. Days like today are muddled with uncertainty. Days like today where everything in my life seems hopeless. Granted, I have been sick for the past three days and have not slept well. I am sure that a good night’s sleep has a symbiotic relationship with my mental health.
For the past few years I have dealt with gas pains. I am sure that many people understand the extreme pain that comes with the attacks. Hours of pain, followed by vomiting is my burden. This is the reason that prompted my surgery. The surgery removed a blockage and freed my abdomen from my colon. The hope was that the gas pains would end. They have not.
Two consecutive days of pain was the record, this week, it was upped to three.
I am exhausted, and broken. By this point I would share a small fragment of light and hope with you. I would tell you that I know it will be ok. I would tell you that with some sleep and a day without pain, it will be ok. But today I just don’t have it in me.
Maybe tomorrow.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never forget:
You are not alone.
You are needed.
