Good Morning World!!
“Before you diagnose yourself with depression, make sure you’re not just surrounded by assholes.” – William Gibson
Having people in your life who use you and disregard your well-being can absolutely drain your spirit and lead to depression, I know because I’ve lived it. Once I became intentional about protecting my energy and keeping negative, self-serving people out of my circle, everything changed. My mental and emotional health improved. I feel lighter. I literally wake up happy.
That doesn’t mean my life is perfect, I still have challenges, but facing them is so much easier when I’m not constantly weighed down by toxic relationships. So if you’re feeling low, ask yourself: is it really you, or is it the people around you? Letting go of those who don’t truly care about you might be the most healing thing you do. And trust me, you won’t regret it.
Happy Thursday!
