An Open Letter
Dear whoever's going to read this,
I am NOT lazy
I am NOT unmotivated
I am NOT a stuck up b*tch
I am so sick and tired of having to be told I am lazy because getting out of bed feels impossible, doing daily chores is tough, I don't feel motivated to do what I was doing before, I had goals a plan which I wanted to achieve.
I WANT to get out of bed, be motivated, not cancel plans, go to work, cook a nice meal, go out for a walk, be active, have a life.
Do you know how hard it is? Constantly drowning in your own self. Thinking of ways to end it, how easy it would be, how better off everyone around me will be. It's a constant battle somedays I win, most days I lose.
It's sad that I have to constantly lie that I'm feeling sick, because that's easier than telling people I'm depressed. Because our community doesn't understand what it means, how it feels.
I'm sad, I have to continuously be undermined by my family, and friends being told I'm lazy, I'm faking it, or I'm full of drama.
It's sad that I have to hide it - my scars, my reality with a smile and excuses
But guess what I'm not the only one. There are many others who struggle daily. Before you call someone lazy, unmotivated, or talk about them behind their back remember this.
Because for us we are just trying to live through that day, survive, and get better.
