2 months ago, on the 22nd september, was my 31st birthday. A normal day, a monday, nothing strange about that.
family and friends filling my Facebook page with birthday wishes, and one SMS message that made me really happy first thing in the morning. All was supposed to be good. But it wasn't!
I had an emotional breakdown, and spent my birthday day at the psychiatric emergency in Helsingborg. few people know about that, now more will know, and I still can't explain what really happened to me.
That I struggle with anxiety disorder is not new to anyone that know me, but that day - or that week - was really terrifying. I was without eat, only wanted to sleep, and never wake up.
I have a few clues of why I was feeling so down and didn't wanted to live at all, but I refuse to believe that someone can blame another for the way you feel. Once I heard that people only do to you what you allow them to, and maybe it is right. I don't know. Maybe I let this someone to be so much in care of my feelings that when it was not going the way I want it to be, I just lost it. I will never know.
I am better today, 2 months after, still going on medication and therapy, with helps me a lot. have been feeling a lot more positive about things in my life and accepting more what is to come. but still feel that empty hole that I felt on the 22nd september. Seems like nothing or anyone can fulfill this emptiness inside of my heart.
I am fighting against it everyday, and somedays I won the battle, but it is still a war to conquer, and I will, because I am a champion and I will not give up.
Somedays are better than the others, and now, with all the darkness in the air from the Swedish autumn, sometimes I feel I will never make it. But then, I look around and realize how much I have, how much i am loved, how much I am and can be happy. And for a few seconds that hole is not there. Those days are good. the best days.
Then come those days where nothing seems to make sense and I just want to sleep away all that crap and wake up in a better tomorrow.
It is a every day battle, and sometimes I don't want to fight. but I have to. I have someone that depends on me, I have to be strong for her, and I have to be happy. I am happy.
Just somedays are better than the others, and lately, the bad days are taking more place than the good ones...
