I have learnt so much over the past 3 weeks. I am worthy of my own love and compassion. Who I am now is not who I could be. What I am now is a product of how I grew up. Who made me who I am was coming from a good place. I am not angry at them.

I have so much. I have done so much. I am a wife. I am a friend. I have an amazing job and work for an amazing company. I am beating everyone on the couch who does not exercise, regardless of if I don’t get PB’s. I am strong, mentally and physically. I just need to keep changing the mental aspects and keep on keeping on.

It is tough. It will always be a struggle but I have friends and a partner that can help me. It will always be there with me, I have accepted that.

I am always trying to get better. I will always try to be better. I am learning to love myself and be content with myself. I know that it will not always be easy. I am OK with that.

I am Sandra, and I have anxiety and depression, but I am not defined by these labels and you shouldn’t be either.
