Its kind of crazy how your past struggles make people see you completely different .i struggled with depression and anxiety when I was 13 I have gone a long long long way to be the person I am today ;a happy motivated I guess you can say ambitious too but I never really looked back to my anxiety and depression because I learned to get myself out of hard times but it’s kinda upsetting getting shut down for opportunities simply because of my scars why should my past define me .i done anything and everything to get myself where I am now and I continue to move up in my career but it’s suck having to work 20 times harder trying to prove that I’m mentally stable simply because of my scars people don’t want people that have that depress background and it sucks because i personally don’t think it’s fair .i seen a psychologist and he has indeed written im mentally good but the scars are there and there’s nothing more to do to prove otherwise to them atleast .armed forces and becoming a cop maybe never be an option for me which sucks because it’s something I really want to do but my scars are a big problem because it’s tied down to depression and depression is tied into sadness and to them it can’t even be outbeaten that you have a problem . There’s only so much I can do to prove myself and believe when I said I done as much as I can but to them it’s simply a no .my past shouldn’t define me as the person I am today it’s unfair .overcoming your mental illness makes you the strongest person atleast in my personal opinion that’s a battle itself. What motivates me is my ability to put a situation out there I won’t stop trying because i truly believe being judged by scars is wrong.
