A FEW NOTES FROM FRIENDS TOO - READ THEM AND STAY STRONG
"The world is a much much much better place with you in it .
​
I know you may not see it, but people start smiling when they see you, people feel better when you are around.
Keep going because we love you and without you, life would be a hell of a lot worse."
"It’s important to look after yourself.
It might sound selfish but, put yourself first.
You have to love yourself before you can love anyone else.
You have to look out for yourself before you can look after anyone else. "
"Many people will tell you the common phrase “things get better”, but it’s so much more than that.
There have been days, weeks and months where I didn’t see myself making it out of the ‘dark days’. I would tell myself that things would never get better and I would feel this way forever.
But use me as living proof that if you speak to people and you get the help, things really can, and do, get better.
I’m now living in my own home, with my own family, my dream job and I truly am living in the “better days”.
If you managed to leave the house today, you’re doing great.
Even if you woke up this morning, you’re doing great.
Small steps still take you to where you want to be.
Speak up, because you’re never alone."
When we are at our lowest we often just wish there was a miracle to snap us back to being ourselves. We know that's not the case.
The simplest message I've found to use, as a mantra is "this too shall pass". Sometimes we have to work for it, and others it feels like there is no end in sight. But, through every dark cloud there is a light ready to break through. We live on a wave, moving back and forth and we wish we could keep with the calm motions but there are storms we have to weather, but again "this too shall pass".
"The first step to being happy in life is to be happy with yourself first."
