When I first created this book, I had the intention of just posting sad pictures and complaining about the struggles of depression and anxiety. But, I don't want to do that-I don't want this anxiety and depression to defy me. And I don't want it to defy anyone else. I'm sorry to anyone if you were influenced by the original meaning, or my behavior. But, I'm making a change now. I'm trying to learn to love myself, and do the things I love. One of the things I love to do is help others, sometimes whether its heathy or unhealthy I put others' needs in front of my own.  I'm here to tell you now that you should not give up hope! You should not give in to this anxiety or depression that is haunting you. Every time you give into it, it bites away at you and leaves you more vulnerable, and soon you're trapped in the darkness behind the eyes of the depression or eyes of the anxiety. But, do not quit! Do not give up! Sometimes we have those days or times where we feel worthless or incapable of whatever it is, and it breaks us down, and we believe it. But that is not true. It is the depression or anxiety's words and thoughts being thrown at you-to try to consume you. Some days we fall into a dark abyss for a long time. But we have to remember to get back up. And you don't always have to fight alone, there are others who will be there for you. So instead of giving into the monster, and letting my insecurity or doubt drive my actions, I will take the happiness that is in my heart, and with that is a start of just a glimmer of hope, but if you try to stand up and try to fight back, it will grow stronger and stronger. If anyone wants to talk to me, feel free to leave me a comment or message. Even if you aren't going through depression or anxiety, and you need to talk or help to work through your problems, don't hesitate to come to me. Speaking up and asking for help isn't weak, it's simple asking for help or speaking up about whatever, and getting the help and support you need. I think what I'll be posting for this book is some situations I've been in or you may come across, and what to do to feel better in those situations, as well as coping mechanisms and more. <3uguys ^^ stay sweet
