Because it isn't really something I talk about in real life, but am reflecting and feeling proud of myself today. 30 years old, 2 young children, was severely depressed for years. Kids were running feral, house was a tip, I couldn't drag myself out of bed. Bailiffs turning up at the door because I didn't pay my bills and I had no motivation to sort it. All 3 of us living off crap food. Fast forward to now, I love spending quality time with my children, I have learnt how to keep an organised home. I adore our cosy flat. I get up every morning and put a home cooked meal in the slow cooker for us. I don't have a lot of money, but that is because I am repaying my debts. I no longer have the worry of bailiffs turning up to take our things. I'm even starting driving lessons next month. I know most of these are just basic to most people, but to me, after my life being such a mess, they seem a massive achievement. This morning I was feeling a little down about being single at 30, and I think it is helpful to look back at how much things have changed for me over the past couple of years. Good things take time. For anyone currently suffering with depression, I hope this post helps you ❤
