Fighting. That is how I spend my life.
I fight to survive. I fight every single day.
I am a fighter? Am I? I suppose I am.
Living with mental illness isnt easy. Being blind isnt easy. Life can be hard.
At times, its extremely tough. But I trudge on. I will survive, I keep surviving because I’ve come too far not to.
I do get jaded though. I am exhausted. The climb to reach the top of the mountain is so hard at times.
I have people who are rooting for me, my therapist, my psychiatrist, my mom.
For them, I will continue to fight. I will also do it for me. I deserve a life. I deserve to be happy, I know I am loved and now I have to learn to love myself as well.

    I struggle a lot with life also but I trust in God to help me. You are so lucky to have your mum to help you and have fun with along with other people also. I do my best to fight to survive, some days are better then others I guess. Take care and hugs from me.

        You are right, we should. I have the opposite problem to you and need to gain weight. I struggle to afford the food I need and even if I had enough I would struggle to cook enough. If you read my post named “What I live with” that will explain some things.

    “trudge” seems absolutely the wrong word here.

        yup, implies confidence. Even if you don’t feel it, if you *appear* confident, the world will think you *are* confident
