Mental illness is killing Us
It is very scary to think of the mental illness that I carry in my body and mind. Its effects are devastating, even when we can't see it. People with a mental illness cannot do anything right, can't have friends or be around people. They often feel like they are trapped inside an ice box because their actions don't seem acceptable. In fact, I found myself saying "stop being you," often in times when I felt like someone was judging me. I didn't want to live anymore. My thoughts were all over the place, so I couldn't care about anything else. The only thing I cared about was trying to survive the day. When you're not getting out of bed, walking around the house, or talking to people like you would like to, your world is falling apart. You may ask yourself, what happened? Was it just a bad dream? Could I have been imagining things that scared me? Or is there something wrong with me? How could this happen? Why is this happening to me? A lot of the time I feel alone and depressed, because it is really hard to leave myself alone. I am a victim of depression and anxiety. I struggle to get through the day without feeling weak or hopeless. This can have a negative effect on my work ethic. If I wasn't depressed, I wouldn't be acting so self-righteous at home. Since I cannot control how I feel, I worry that people will judge me by the way I look. What is the first thing you'd notice if you met me? That's not who I am on the outside. I always try to act nice and professional when I'm out. Sometimes I take off my glasses and use fake eyelashes. I try to make people smile. But everything is worthless to me, and when I walk, sometimes my feet hurt. On weekends I go to church after I see other people, and I feel as though everyone sees me as broken. Everyone thinks I'm weird. There was another time I tried to apologize to God for ruining my day. He said to show me you love and then start praying. And I did, but my prayer was useless. It felt so empty because I didn't really believe in him. As a result, one week later some people came up to me and asked me why I didn't pray. Because of my depression, I didn't know what to say. They gave me two options: pray a long prayer, or tell them I wouldn't pray another day. So I told them I wouldn't pray next Sunday. I wasn't sure if they'd understand. It took my eyes off my book, and I started crying.

2 Types of Extroverts
Now that I have addressed introverts in my previous article, I would like to touch on the subject of extroverts. Also known as the social butterflies. The ones that are outgoing and fun to be around. Most extroverts happen to be good with interaction and socializing with other people.

4 Types of Introverts
Introverts are often seen as loners but there is a term much more powerful than that. Introverts are defined as individuals who are comfortable in their solitude. Whether theyโre watching tv, reading a book, or listening to music, they are happy and satisfied. With their ability to do things alone they feel restored, refreshed, and balanced with who they are. When introverts are surrounded by people all the time, they may feel drained and stressed because they donโt have the proper time to themselves. Being alone helps them to build their strength from within.

Overthinkers Should Write A Whole Lot More Than They Think
To tell you the truth, I am an overthinker and the only way Iโve felt sane is when I write my thoughts out. At some point, I thought it would be childlike to do so but I realized that itโs a form of freeing oneโs mind. It doesnโt matter what age you are. If youโre an overthinker, this can be helpful. It doesnโt have to be a secret diary or a long journal entry (Unless you want it to be). It can simply be releasing those unsatisfying thoughts from your mind onto paper.
