Coming out of a depressive episode can feel like e Coming out of a depressive episode can feel like emerging from a long, dark tunnel. It’s a journey filled with ups and downs, moments of despair and glimmers of hope. Reclaiming productivity after such a challenging time can be tough, and it’s okay to acknowledge the difficulties.

Getting back into a routine may seem impossible at first. Simple tasks can feel overwhelming, and motivation can feel out of reach. But remember, progress is not always linear, and small steps forward are still steps forward. 

Be gentle with yourself as you navigate this process. Celebrate each small accomplishment, whether it’s getting out of bed, completing a task, or taking time for self-care. You are strong, resilient, and capable of rebuilding your life. 💪🏼💫

Surround yourself with understanding and supportive loved ones who can offer a helping hand and a listening ear. Seek professional help if needed, as therapy and counseling can provide invaluable guidance on your journey.

Remember, you are not alone in this. Many have walked this path before and have found their way back to productivity, joy, and fulfillment. Keep moving forward, one step at a time, and trust that brighter days are ahead. 🌞💛

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This post mentions topics ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This post mentions topics on depression. 

Even the most successful and happiest people can hit a low point. Based on these photos, you would have never thought I was suffering, but I was. 

About 4 years ago, depression almost ruined my chances of getting a college degree. I was constantly in a state of despair, unable to focus on my studies, and had no motivation to do anything.

I was burnt out from holding multiple part-time retail jobs, exhausted from school, and mentally checked out. It felt like I was trapped in a dark hole with no way out. It was a tough time, but I am so thankful that I had a loving support system to help me through it.

My mother and Pop were my pillars of strength, always there to encourage and support me through my darkest moments. My boyfriend was my rock, always there to listen and provide comfort when I needed it most. My friends were my sunshine, always making me laugh and reminding me of the good in life. Without them, I would not be where I am today. 

If you're ever struggling with depression or any mental health issue, it's important to reach out to your support group. It may feel like you're a burden, but trust me, they want to be there for you. They love you and want to help you through your toughest times. It's okay to not be okay, but it's not okay to suffer in silence.

So, I encourage you to talk to someone you trust. It could be a family member, friend, therapist, or even a support group. You don't have to go through it alone. Remember, there is always hope and there is always help available.

Say hello to my new favorite natural remedies!

I’ve been incorporating @countrylanecbd Lavender CBD Oil and CBD Calming Salve into my wellness routine and the results have been amazing.

🌿 The CBD oil helps me unwind after a long day, and has helped me to feel a lot better at night. 
🌿  The Calming Salve has been a lifesaver for post-workout sorenes and has been my go-to method for about 2 months now. 

I love knowing that these products are all-natural and fit seamlessly into my healthy lifestyle. Give them a try and thank me later!

As someone who has lived with anxiety for years, t As someone who has lived with anxiety for years, this quote hits close to home. It's easy to get caught up in the feeling of anxiety and let it control our lives, but we can't let it hold us back from our dreams and goals.

Despite my own struggles, I never let anxiety detour me from pursuing my dreams. It's a constant battle, but we must fight against our anxieties and push ourselves to do the things that feel impossible. Trust me, the reward of accomplishment is worth it in the end.
