I struggle
I struggle.
When I struggle, it hurts.
When it hurts, I turn it off.
Turn off my emotions.
Depression is hard.
Perfectionism is harder.
When I struggle to be perfect, I turn in the opposite direction.
Try to lose weight, I gain.
Try to do my best at work, I get criticized.
Try to be a good mom, and a good wife…. I can only hope.
Try not to give up, I cant give up.
Its not an option.
People depend on me. People believe in me.
People love me. I love them.
I struggle.
When I struggle, it hurts.
