Waking up every morning ready to have a battle with my own mind is stressing enough but knowing that there is people that actually blame you for it, is one of the worst things to battle with.

For many years I kept my mental health for myself, I didn’t share it or talked about it for many reasons, one of them was the fear of what people would say and how they would judge me. After dealing with this on my own, I decided that I needed help and opened up to the world, this came with a lot of new experiences, I started talking with more people about it and even though I enjoyed it, not all the conversations were as pleasant as I wished.

Showing your feelings to people is not an easy thing to do, now imagine being blamed for how you feel!. I usually receive many support messages telling me I’m strong and that I can do this, but I also receive some telling me this is all my fault, how is this my fault?

I never chose to fear, to lose control of my body and my mind, to be anxious, to be depressed, I never chose to not living my life the fullest, to let myself get lost in my thoughts and feeling like I’m dying inside.

So , who are you to blame me? Who are you to tell me I’m not doing enough when you are not the one who is battling with me? You are not the one who is learning how to control panic attacks, you are not the one who can’t breath due to the anxiety, you are not the one who cries every night for fear of losing your mind.

To whoever is ready this, never blame somebody that is going through something you don’t understand, the fact that you are okay doesn’t mean we all are, because something works for you it doesn’t mean it works for everybody, not because you can do it , everybody can.

Be empathic, be human, listen and help, never judge, unless you are on the battle field, you wouldn’t understand.
