Open Convo

When you’re getting to know someone it’s sometimes hard opening up to them in the beginning. Your guard is up because of what you may have been through. When you suffer from depression or anxiety, that’s not something you want to open up about off the bat. Even after the “cupcake” phase when things start to get serious and you start opening up a little more, you might feel that speaking about your moments of depression or anxiety may scare them away. That it may be something they can’t handle or may not want to deal with.

I never wanted to say I went through depression and there are times where I still feel I slip back into it, or that I use to have bad anxiety where I was overly nervous. I didn’t want to scare off the person I liked and I thought they would judge me. I’ve learned that these are things I shouldn’t keep from someone I’m dealing with because it’s apart of who I am, it’s something I struggle with and if they want to be apart of my life, then they will have to accept and be willing to help me while I help myself when these feelings arise. If someone doesn’t accept all that you come with then they are not for you. When dealing with mental health it’s good to have that positive energy around you that cares for your well being, because it helps you along your journey of healing.
