The Struggle is Real

I have a great life! Amazing family and friends, great coworkers and a happy and supportive work environment. I am healthy and so are my children. They are happy and well adjusted. But I find myself every so often on the roller coaster that is anxiety and depression. It's a ride I wish I could get off of. Rather than leave it entirely, this ride lulls you into a false sense of security. You go about your day feeling pretty great. This can happen for days or even weeks at a time. The one day you wake up, feelig anxious about just about everything. Feeling overwhelmed, tired, unmotivated....all part of the roller coaster. Today is one of those days. Thos weeks even. I know logically it will pass cause it always does. But some days it feels like a ride that will never end. I am very thankful for the amazing support system I have. Thats what makes the low days easier to get through.
