For years I've maintained a perfect facade. I was an actress skilled enough that I should have won a few academy awards. This past winter I was deeply inspired by "Shadows in the Sun" a memoir on depression. The author's truth made me realize I needed to start by being honest, with myself and with others. This is the first step and I am blogging it along the way in hopes to help anyone who may be struggling with something similar, or at least give hope that you're not alone.

Fell off the bandwagon
Lately I have fallen off the bandwagon and slipped into tried and true methods of self-sabotage. I ate bad all weekend long, didn't sleep well, feeling stressed, and anxiety is yet again getting the best of me. It's completely my fault. I know what helps me. Walking a bit outside after work. Writing. Relaxing. I don't do any of these things. I crave success but then I don't take care of myself, which is essential for success. I want to make a positive difference in the lives of many people, but I have to make a positive difference in my own life first. This is not easy. When it comes to me, I am lazy and apathetic. I just have never cared or put energy into myself. I've never treated myself like a friend. It's time to fight 30 years of this mentality and begin looking at myself as a friend. I need to support myself so that I can be better for everyone else. Time to get back onto the bandwagon.
