Mental Health: Depression/ Anxiety
I was the third brother of 6 siblings but now I’m the third of five, doing what I can to survive. I’m not saying what I do is alright for 30 but I have to struggle to prosper, trying to break out of old habits is a day to day fight up a muddy, sloppy hill. Been struggling so often that getting a handout of charity without repercussions seems to never cross the mind. Being so low due to Covid, I’ve been getting up over and over with new yokes and crosses. However, there might be a better living waiting beyond the years I can’t see ahead, that I’m trying to find or sense.
Sometimes I don’t know what I did until the pressure I’m under has pushed me down myself to do it. I was caught up being weak; and tried to kill myself at the end of last April in 2020. Meet me and be mystified over the long deep and narrow tracks I made down my arm as I survived such a huge attack by my breaking mind. Demons as it feels sometimes, won’t let me be free and try to catch me up again slipping. You find it all has been rough for me and my family to manage my depression and anxiety.
