I really struggle in my mind to stay positive. I have dealt with depression for the past 21 years of my life (since I was 13). Depression beats me up inside. It drains my energy and brings negative thoughts in my mind. I am really hoping and praying that I will soon get out of it. Maybe the birth of my child to come might help me with this. Regardless, I will try to remind myself to stay positive and be joyful in the midst of all the negative situations and circumstances going on around me.
