We can't go for a long journey, without carrying our Luggage along. We are products of what we've gone through at some phase of our lifes. I have my own baggage and I will be sharing, who knows, I could be speaking to someone.
There was a time in my life (high school) when I was brilliant, outspoken, bold, I represented my school in several competitions and did very well, I maintained my position as the class prefect until my Dad lost his Job and I was chased out of school more often and even missed a whole term in my 11th Grade, I lost my best friend at this time. I was just 16 years at the time...
When I returned to school, My classmates said a lot of things that made me feel so sad and I didn't tell anyone about it... I grew up so fast and I couldn't face a crowd for a simple speech or presentation, it was disheartening, I wish I didn't care about what anyone had told me in the past, whatever they told me made me feel like I wasn't enough, I began to doubt myself and question myself if I was good enough to give a speech to an audience, My self-esteem was in the gutters.
I wouldn't say am exactly at where I want to be but I know for sure I'm improving.
Something else that helped me is having the courage to begin again and protecting my peace, I told myself that what anyone thinks about me doesn't matter and I wouldn't let someone elses opinion dictate how I live my life.
MY HEALING PROCESS
✓Awareness, firstly you would have to be aware of what is causing your depression, self-doubt, anxiety or fear.From my story, you would figure out I had to realize the problem first before tackling it.
✓The next step would be to get more perspective on our lessons learned and assimilate new ideas.
✓Lastly, Solve problems as they arise, don't procrastinate, Don't worry about things you can't solve, if there's anything above me, I leave to God. This helps a lot if you struggle with anxiety.
