Dear Depression and Anxiety,
You’ve been loyal to me all these years, stuck by my side, broke me into a
million pieces and made me weak from within, that I started questioning my
existence. But let me tell you one thing today, from the day you left me on
my own, it has turned out to be marvelous.
From being the person who stayed awake the whole night overthinking
about her own self, to being proud and taking stand for the things that are
fair, we have come a long way. I vaguely remember, back in my school days,
when my classmates bullied me about the way I looked, when going to a
therapist meant that I’m mentally unstable, where I was reminded how to
dress, sit and walk, and not raise my voice to some high decibel. I cried for
hours when lights were turned off, but now those days are gone where I felt
tormented by darkness, where I was trapped, not by any human being but my
own grief and pain.
Sometimes, I’m left alone to think, to repent on my actions, to let that harsh
reality sink in, and shatter me down like those pieces of glass. But I want to
say a thank you to you two, though you turned my inner self upside down,
but today I stand strong and bold enough to face all that comes my way.
Though I was in deep misery of my own self, but now I can sense the real
meaning of being free, free from endless rants, crying and complaining to
myself.
I can feel the positive energy around me when I work, and nothing can let
me down or put me back in that place where I resided before, trapped. Letting
go is the best therapy, but letting yourself fly in an expressive way can lead to
a new beginning of being free. So, it’s time for us to say adieu for the rest of
our lives.
From,
The mind who went through agony.
