Good morning to you all, take care, stay safe and healthy! (Text written by Francisca Gomes) To everyone who's struggling with anxiety, or any other problem. To anyone simply going throught a bad day, a bad week, whatever... I have a message for you guys. It's written from heart and mind. It's not a way of getting likes. It's not a way of getting anything besides a positive outcome on your lives. I know this may not help some, or anyone at all. I've had a pretty bad response the last times I've tried to do it. But I also helped some people. So, I'll try again, because I really don't want to give up on this. I have anxiety. I know how hard it is get throught it every single day. Specially now, during quarentine, it feels like the world is ending. It feels like things get worse and worse. But I geniually want to make some change. I want you to know that your not crazy, your not alone and your not going to be sad forever. The most important thing in life(as much as society tries to deny it constantly) is our happiness. When we have anxiety, we feel like we're about to die, like we can't feel anything, anymore. It really seems like it's going to be forever. Like there's no way we'll want to live. But it's not true. I've been there, I know people who have been there. I'm asking you to be open. To open yourself to the ones you have around you. And, regardless of their reaction, keep going. If they don't belive/listen to you, keep asking for help. If you're still at school/college, please tell a teacher. Tell every single one, every employe-if you need to. I doubt that you'll end up with none of them caring. If you still can trust your family, please be open to them. You shouldn't have to carry any pain on your own. Never be ashamed. And don't let messed up people hurt you and let you down. I know how hard it is to be strong. I know how hard it is to talk. There's a lot of shame surrounding every single trauma, every single panic attack(I have them constantly). But there shouldn't be. We have ourselves. We don't need other people to ruin us. Getting hurt and getting throught the worst just means we can do it. We need people to help us. To take care and protect us. We're better, stronger and wiser than who or what's hurting us. We need to have people by our side. And, ultimately. NOTHING that has hurt us will ever define us. What defines us, is who we want to be. And NOTHING can stop us from being happy again. And we'll be. Once our pain is no longer just a secret. Once it's known by other people, once we get support, we are free. Everyone goes throught something or more. Depression exists and it's a problem. It's not our fault if we have it. We shouldn't apologyse for a problem we have. And no one, besides us, is ever able to decide who we are and who we will be. Please don't hurt you're body. It is what takes you everywhere, what let's you walk, run and breathe. Uglyness and beauty is just an opinion. Someone can find you ugly and someone can find you beautiful. There's no definition for it. It's about people's taste and aesthetic outlook. Don't care if others hate you. Love yourself, and your personality. It's okay to have a million flaws. No one put a rule asking you to be perfect, even if they do, no one is. So that would be hypocritical. And to end this long text I've written, please, don't end your life. I'm not saying any of this because it's what we should say to end up suicide. I'm saying this because we're not simple things, we're all different. We all have our pesonalities. We all have something that no one can copy. We all want to be loved, heared and taken care of. And if we aren't, we will be. Be open, don't hide your worris, your pain, your hurt. That's what I had to tell. I'm sorry for the long text, but I felt like I wanted to do this, I wanted to help. A hug!
