having both anxiety and depression is like that post about washing your meds down with redbull. youโd like to think that the constant fear of failure caused by your anxiety would cancel out the lack of motivation you feel thanks to your depression, but no. they are both working so very much and you cannot stop it.
Itโs entering the final boss stage where the music kicks in, but they donโt spawn.

In 2018, Athenaย is still in Athens, trying to figure out where it went wrong, strategizing, reading, analysing, war after war after war, trying to see when she lost control of it all, when it starting going beyond her. Because she is determined, single-minded, steadfast,ย and she is going to change the world once more.ย
One time I was numb,
A little girl looked at me and said
I look like A person whoโs alive, but still dead.
She told me my eyes were red,
But they looked like not a single tear have been shed.
She held my hand,
And asked me why I didnโt ask for help.
How do I tell her, dear world?
Everywhere I looked, all the pathways were swirled?
There was no way her innocent mind could comprehend,
How I had reached such a cruel dead end.
How do I tell her how I felt?
Being consumed by the demon that in my mind dwelled ?
That i couldnโt win no matter how with it I dealt.
How do I tell her, help wonโt come
Thatโs why to despair I succumb,
I canโt be helped by the people who love me
Cause the person I love is the only one who can set me free.

I think Iโm getting bad again.
Dear, you.
I donโt know how you did it, but Iโm so proud of you!ย
Proud of what youโve become and what youโve accomplished. I always knew you can make it!ย
Despite all those things you went through, I never lost faith in you. You are stronger than you thought you were. ย Iโm glad you listened to me.
Who would have thought youโll come out of it better, bolder and stronger? Youโre the version of me Iโve always envisioned even in my worst state.ย ย
Iโm sorry that I put you through all of those mess out of my carelessness. Now we both know that putting our faith on other people doesnโt always do us good.ย ย So, Iโm glad that you did run when I asked you to. That was the bravest thing you did; to walk out and walk away despite the heaviness in your heart. I know it was difficult and it took you all the courage you could muster to accept the fact that what you fought for was in vain but thatโs the way things go.ย ย
Remember what author Eric Ludy said,ย โMany a young woman has spent nights crying over a broken heartโnot from an ended relationship, but from the FALSE HOPE of a relationship that never began.โย
You werenโt really sorry for the abrupt ending. You were only sorry that things didnโt go your way.ย
There will always be disappointments but the important thing is knowing how to deal with it, and that itโs not the end of it all.
I love thatย fought your way to get to where I am now.
Success is always sweeter when youโve tasted the bitterness ofย struggles.ย
Youโll never be able to appreciate what you have now and what you will have unless youโve gone through not having it.ย ย
Gratitude unlocks the magic. Iโm glad you used it one too many times.ย You can never have too much gratitude in your heart.ย If it overflows, it blesses more people around you and you never get empty ever.
When you started to doubt yourself and Godโs plans for you then, I was heartbroken. Itโs painful to watch you tremble. I thought youโll never get past it. But, you never let go; you never gave up. Thatโs my girl.
You strongly believed and still believe that there may be drought around you, but the abundance of rain is on itโs way. A storm cloud full of Godโs blessings is about to pour.
Hold on to the people who give you wings. Those who laugh with you and your quirks, and silly mistakes but never judge you. Those who believe in you like I do. They were put in your life to make things easier and lovelier so donโt scare them away.ย ย
Remember to always put people over things.
It will take you quite a while before you will realize the difference between things that you should trash and keep. Man, it took you like forever to stop chasing what you thought was everything you ever wanted!ย ย
I canโt blame you for having a heart that never gets tired of giving second chances. Youโre a good person.
Self-love should still be your top priority. Protect yourself from the people who hurt and will hurt you. Thatโs the most selfless gift you can give yourself.
You will never believe what great things await you!ย
With much love and faith in you,
Your Future Selfโฃ
*petting my cat* please cure my depression cat: *prrbhbphr* me: thanks
Fun fact!!
Cats donโt only purr because theyโre content! When theyโre sick, or when a kitten/companion is sick, they purr to help heal faster. So if youโre feeling down and your cat friend comes up to purr on you, itโs because they sense somethingโs up and they want to help you feel better!
Imagine beeing an animal that literally has a build in โcomfort my loved onesโ function and still have people think you are an asshole by nature.
dude one time I was sitting on the sidewalk outside my house late at night crying my eyes out and a stray cat just came up, sat in my lap, and started purring while kneading my legs. a cat I had never even met before was there for me when nobody else was. what did we ever do to deserve cats?
