Overcoming depression and anxiety

 I am putting this down because I know it might help someone somewhere. How I survived depression and anxiety was through meditation and prayers. Many do yoga, but I don't. I meditate. I pray the rosary. The rosary has really helped me in moment of depression and anxiety. Those times I felt hopeless and helpless. It has helped me overcome stress. Each time I pray the prayers, I feel like a big burden has been taken off my shoulders. I repeat the practice many times. Good music and a great bath too has helped. Water and bathing is therapeutic. Writing, journaling thought has helped too. And most importantly, living life at the moment and being contented.

BY LOVING YOURSELF, YOU LOVE OTHERS

So it's been four months since I started working in a school in Calabar that has forty years of existence. A really old school whose facilities need maintenance. Chairs damaged, laboratory decay and everything in there looks so old. Then I wondered, what am I doing here? And I realized that I needed experience. I wanted to leave home so long as it is for learning. I learned. I saw how mismanagement can cause serious damage to a school. I saw how not treating teachers well or paying them on time could be a danger to school business. Especially changing teachers every time in school or teachers leaving a school due to ill treatment.  By loving yourself, you love others. When you love yourself, it becomes so easy to love others. It becomes easy to love your staff and pay them on time. It becomes so easy to treat people well. Elizabeth Diaries ❤️

They laughed, smiled, ate with him, squandered his money, but said badly of him at his absence. His friends never loved him, he was only used. His frienemies made decisions for him in his own home. My father never took my mother's advice. He said my mother was an illiterate. So, he clinged to his friends. He wasted half of his wealth on his friends and their dubious lives. My father's weakness was trusting people so much and giving his whole life to them. He never loved us, he gave all his love to strangers and neglected his family. They used him, they blackmailed him, they abused him, they messed him up. We as his family were part of the whole mess. This wa
