I'm looking back at the past and I'm seeing how my attitude is kind of changing towards everything. I used to have crippling depression and social anxiety. I used to hang around forums looking for support or people that made it out and let me to tell you that's depressing as hell. 90% of the time everyone is still struggling and it sucks. But even back then something inside of me said that this wasn't how things had to be. So I've just been on a never ending quest to conquer all of this stuff.
Nowadays I still feel those things, but they don't have the pull they used to. I don't know how to describe it, but it's like outgrowing them almost. Which if you talked about in some of those mental health forums people would say you never get rid of social anxiety or depression. It's such a pervasive belief and I think the only reason it's stuck around is because conventional treatment methods suck.
My greatest fear is that this is it. This is my life. An endless uphill struggle with no resolution until the day I die. I've never once, not in my entire life, had a moment where I thought to myself that everything is great and working out like it should. And I don't know if that's a common thing among people and they just hide it really well. Everyday feels like I'm doing something wrong, which causes me to over analyze my life and all my actions and make me fearful of making a mistake.
But I am moving forward, that's for certain. It just has to be one step at a time because I still feel like there's a ton of stuff that needs work in my life.
