Why do I continue to share my story…..

The answer is simple. Why not? Some of you don’t realize how far I’ve come. Some of you don’t know my story. If you did, then you may stop to listen, or read about it, or take a second look. Well, many years ago, I was about to give up. My life was in turmoil, my mind was scattered, all over the place sometimes, and for many years, a lot of people either turned away or had better things to do with their time, as I suffered with a disorder that was ripping away my life at the seams. Daily, I took medications that made me gain significant weight and I no longer recognized the person that looked back at me in the mirror. On the inside, I didn’t recognize myself either. I continually questioned everything I did, second guessing myself with even the simple decisions that I had to make. I questioned my ability, my future, and my support. Life seemed hopeless. I couldn’t see that one day there would be a drastic change that would take place and all of this would come to an end one day, not when I was deep in the trenches of depression. All I could see was the present. Thankfully, I came upon someone who sent a life line, a way of escape. It wasn’t easy, but different people began to plant seeds of positivity that would begin to initiate change in my life. They never gave up on me and soon I could see that I shouldn’t give up on myself. When I couldn’t or was too tired to fight, someone stood in and fought for me. So right now, I’m fighting for you. Don’t give up. It may seem like it’s never going to change, but trust me, it WILL get better. That’s why I continue to share my story, what God did for me, He can do for you.
