Hi!
I’ve seen quiet a few people on here talking about anxiety during this holiday or not having friends to celebrate with.
I just wanted to say, anxiety or no friends or even both you should celebrate for YOUrself!
Celebrate new beginnings.

Celebrate because even with anxiety you’re still here to celebrate this holiday because you’re still here standing strong.

Celebrate because you’re still here when at times you thought you couldn’t even live to see the next day.

Celebrate because your life is still here when it could’ve been taken.

Celebrate because we’re all leaving 2020 behind.

Celebrate because you’re still here putting up a fight everyday.


Basically what i’m saying is this holiday isn’t just about celebrating with friends. Look at this holiday as the things you achieved! Living here even when you thought you couldn’t! Look at this as another year you’re still here on this earth even when you thought you couldn’t make it to this point! I’ve had severe for almost ten years and it has completely been a challenge throughout my entire life and I know what it’s like to feel alone, to feel like you have no one, to feel not loved, to feel like you completely lost yourself, and to completely feel like ending it all. 
You’re still here, you fought battles you thought you couldn’t, and you’re still here to check off another year of living even through all the anxiety, panic, depression, and terrible hard times. You all should be very proud of yourselves, even if you feel like you shouldn’t be. You really should. I know whoever decides to actually take the time to read this doesn’t know me and I don’t know you, but I know anxiety. I know how hard life can truly be and also how great it can be. 

Keep your heads up, stay positive even though a lot of the time it’s extremely hard to be, and continue to fight this battle of anxiety. I promise anxiety will not win in the long run, you will and you are going to win. This fight is going to be so worth putting up with. Me myself, I don’t even have my anxiety and depression under control...but i’m still here trying to push through with the hardest fight I can give. Even when I want to end it all and take my life at times at my lowest points, at the end of it...I still fight my best fight I possibly can, because if I didn’t i’d be gone a while ago.

I never ever really made new year resolutions for myself, but mine this year is to continue to put up this fight and to not let anxiety win, to not let anxiety ever be worth taking my life. I will not let it win. It will get the best of me at times like it has before, but in the long run I will never let it completely win.

Lastly, Happy Holidays and stay safe in this crazy world:)

If you took the time to read this entire thing, I hope it gave you a little hope. Thank you.
