Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety into Motivation and You Can Too

سلام هم تیمی،

همه ما با موانعی مانند جسمی، احساسی، بین گوش ها روبرو هستیم. خبر خوب این است که هر چیزی که با آن مبارزه کرده‌ایم، می‌تواند به ما قدرت دهد، اگر بدانیم چگونه از آن استفاده کنیم. موانع من اتفاقاً اضطراب و افسردگی است. من آن را زندگی در خاکستری می نامم و تمام زندگی ام در آن غرق شده ام. صادقانه بگویم، بد است. اما اخیراً متوجه شده‌ام که همین خاکستری که مرا تحت فشار قرار داده است به من قدرت داده تا وحشیانه‌ترین رویاهایم را محقق کنم. شما احتمالاً بر بسیاری از موانع خود غلبه کرده اید، اما آنقدر به درگیری نزدیک شده اید که نمی توانید به وضوح آنچه را که انجام داده اید ببینید. همه ما شکست ناپذیر هستیم، مهم نیست که چه کاری انجام می دهیم، چه کسی هستیم، یا چه آسیب هایی که ممکن است تجربه کرده باشیم. فقط باید اعتراف کنیم که نمی توانیم این پیاده روی را به تنهایی طی کنیم

Hey Teammate,

We all face obstacles-physical, emotional, between the ears. The good news is that everything we have fought back against can empower us, IF WE KNOW HOW TO USE IT. My obstacles happen to be anxiety and depression. I call it living in the gray, and I've been mired in it my whole life. To be honest, it sucks. But I have also recently recognized that this same gray that has held me down has also empowered me to make my wildest dreams come true. You have probably overcome many of your own obstacles, but you;ve been too close to the conflict to clearly see what you've accomplished. We are all UNBREAKABLE, no matter what we do, who we are, or what traumas we may have experienced. We just need to admit that we can't walk this walk alone.
