Steemit has made my day glow with hope and happiness. This platform is going to give me the voice that was always hidden and shy. Those awful days of damp dull depression are over as I can really start to voice my opinions, share stories, convey my thoughts on videos and meet like minded individuals.
This is the first time in years that I can talk about the dark times. I started to psycho analyse my childhood to try and determine what led to my low moods, lack of self esteem, shyness and factors that lead to living a below average life. I was just existing rather than living during 20 years of darkness. I started writing notes on those factors that may have contributed towards the merely existing. Being bullied at school, college and workplace, going upstairs whenever people came round, being influenced by peer groups, trying to avoid relationships with girls, watching films alone, making excuses and not meeting targets. The list was endless but all those points led to an unfulfilled life.
So what have I done about the ill winds of misfortune?
Well for a start, I gave up drinking and smoking. Started going to the gym. Got signed up for this great platform that will bring comfort from the kind and considerate members in here. The heart feels free today as I am able to express myself. By simply talking about the ill winds of misfortune, I just feel like living. God Bless you ALL.
This video summed it up for me and I started to turn my life around. If your suffering from depression, lack of self esteem or anything that takes you to the dark side, watch this video:
