The one thing that has kept me going is my faith and hope in God. Even when i couldn't see any way out, there was always that teeny tiny glimmer of light that just wouldn't go away. I always told/tell myself that God has started a good work in me that he will complete. Putting all my trust in God, as he leads me to ways to properly nourish my body, healing my broken emotionals, letting go of past failures and hurts, choosing not to live life through the rare view mirror and gratitude have gotten me this far. I have a long, long, way to go and by no means do i deceive myself that i got this thing beat. I know that its a life long journey and i will keep doing what i've been doing as it's working thus far.
This site has been a wonderful tool for my accountability, Comradery, information sharing and support. I feel like this is definitely a haven for most of us who can't just share our most secret struggles with anyone else.
Healing my body with nutrition and exercise is major priority. I have found amazing help from Magnesium, Omega 3 and D3 for depression and sleep. The combnation of magnesium and Omega 3 is particularly beneficial to anxieties and depression. My sleep has always been a big problem but its slowly getting better. 5 to 6 hours straight sleep most nights is the norm. At the beginning i barely got 45 minutes straight. I was waking up every 30 minutes, staying up for 2 hours....pure hell.
If you are starting out or jus struggling, please DO NOT give up..keep trying, keep getting up, keep posting, most importantly do not despair or lose hope. It doesn't matter how long you have been struggling.
