I've learned as we face our own demons to fight them, they always get stronger. The anxiety is less frequent but the moments are more intense. The depression, the fear of the outside, it's all more intense as I finally face it instead of turning away as I've always done.

I do not rely on others for helping now either, I am fighting my own internal battles and slowly I gain a little ground. Very... Very slowly.

The thing I've realized is that we become so used to our problems that we actively resist treating them internally, much as we'd resist someone trying to take away a limb. They become ingrained in us and a moment without them makes us wonder if we are in fact losing a portion of ourself... When in the end it is us letting us finally be ourselves without the negative weight.

It's a tough fight I won't lie. But I can best my demons, and I believe you reading this, you can too. You are already doing so well ^^
