Path To Betterness.

Hey, I'm Ellen and I am nineteen years old. I aspire to travel this world before all the lights go out. But most importantly I want to make a difference, even if its just for one single person. Watch this space because my journey is just beginning. ''It's a life's journey of finding ourselves, finding our power, and living for yourself, not for everyone else.'' - Mariska Hargitay.

I can say it’s probably been more than two years since I logged onto this account. And I’m not really writing to anyone, but maybe my past self.

I struggled with depression and anxiety immensely during my teenage years. I’m 22 now, and maybe it does still linger, but I feel like I’ve better tools than I did back then.

A teacher, very close to my heart who helped me beyond words that can describe passed away a few days ago. It’s only now how I stop and think about all the private chats we had. You motivated me, you saved me.

I think the realisation I have from this is how I need to speak about my trauma. My heart is heavy tonight, and I feel like my sixteen year old self. And I don’t know.

Out of all the feelings I've had, loneliness, depressed, empty. There's nothing worse than feeling trapped.

You are bigger than what is making you sad.

Three years ago I lost a massive amount of weight, and whilst it was definitely beneficial for my physical wellbeing, not many people know it was due to chronic depression and anxiety. The depression caused me to have little or no appetite and resulted in me eating approximately 700 to 900 calories a day. To this day I am still uncertain whether it was an eating disorder but all I know is my behaviour was unhealthy. I guess my point with this post is that our mental health is just as important as our physical, I still suffer from depression and anxiety, but I’m definitely so much stronger. So my New Years resolution is to take care of me, body and soul. Love yourself always guys, there’s nothing more beautiful than inner peace.
