RE: Me Vs Depression & Anxiety- I Won the battle today!

Hello @art-venture, thanks for stopping by to comment. With this blog i wanted to try and help others who feel the same by letting them know they are not alone, and i also wanted to try and de-stigmatise mental health a little bit by helping other people who do not feel this way understand what it is like. Not everyone can communicate how they are feeling, i am able to do this and i am very happy to read all these comments from people, it shows me that it worked :) But yes you are right, most people will feel similar things at varying points on the scale. I my self even did not believe i was dealing with anxiety and depression for a long time, i thought people who were diagnosed with it must be feeling much worse than i was, and that i was just being a bit silly. These are very real battles that people deal with, and we should be able to talk about them openly with out fear of being judged. This is why i wrote about my previous accomplishments, not to brag about it, but to show that people you least expect can be feeling this way. Through this blog i have connected with many people who are trying to build a support group accross steemit using the new tag mentioned in the blog, and a support group on discord. It's great to see and hopefully with time there will be a great network of support on steemit :)
