Mental Health Low Points Still Affect Me – Marler

As someone who has struggled with mental health issues for most of my life, the low points still have a lasting impact on me. It’s not easy to forget the times when I felt completely overwhelmed and helpless, when the weight of the world seemed too heavy to bear.

Even though I have made significant progress in managing my mental health, there are still days when I feel like I am back at square one. The triggers are different now, but the feelings of anxiety, depression, and hopelessness linger.

Therapy and medication have been helpful in my journey towards healing, but it is a constant battle to maintain my mental well-being. There are moments when I doubt if I will ever truly overcome my struggles, if I will ever be free from the grips of my own mind.

But I refuse to give up. I have come too far to let my mental health issues define me. I am more than my diagnosis, more than my low points. I am a survivor, a fighter, a warrior.

It’s important to acknowledge that mental health is a journey, not a destination. There will be setbacks and challenges along the way, but that doesn’t mean I am weak or unworthy. It means I am human.

My low points have taught me resilience, compassion, and empathy. They have shown me the strength within myself that I never knew existed. And for that, I am grateful.

So, as I continue to navigate the ups and downs of my mental health, I do so with a newfound sense of purpose and determination. I will not let my low points define me, but I will use them to fuel my growth and healing.
