Stress Center Peer Support

Lately I've been feeling completely lost, and so I decided to sit down and write a letter to my old self (before my anxiety and depression seemed to take over). I thought I'd share in case people can relate, so here it is...

Hello you,

I haven't seen you for a while. I used to know you but I'm not sure I do anymore. I look through your eyes and want to believe you're still there but I can't understand why you left in the first place. You used to enjoy things and used to smile. You were successful. Why must happiness scare you so? I will keep looking for you. Deep down I have to believe that you're there so that I can make it through the day. I miss you.

-Me

I can completely relate to this letter and the feelings behind it.

Fortunately, I am not only discovering the parts of me that I missed, but also am discovering the new me. I hope you soon will as well.
