Struggling with mental health and Christmas!
I was not feeling fulfilled with my life, until I made a small change that made all the difference.
I used to sing this song to my children, but tonight it was exactly what I needed to hear.
For years I’ve wanted to have a healthy self imagine, to love myself for just being me. But for years what I thought of myself was mostly what I thought where else thought of me. This year I decided was the year I’d put the time and energy into learning who I am and why that’s enough. Here’s the first party of what I’ve learned so far.
Jacob talks about some of the issues he is dealing with, and the emotional roller-coaster involved with life and feeling like you haven’t become the person you think you should be.
I haven’t always been great at New Year’s resolutions, but I’m beginning to understand what it means to treat each day like it’s the beginning of the rest of your life. I am grateful for this knowledge because I am taking this year especially to take the time to rediscover me after bringing all my children into this world.

I thought, I’m fine, I can handle it, until the suicidal thoughts began. I mainly felt that I needed to get away from everyone, so as not to be a burden on them, I thought that if I could go out into the wilderness somewhere, that everyone would be free from my presence and then they could all be happy. When not in a depressed state, that seems silly, but when you are depressed, it is very real.
