Mental Power

I did not pay a lot of attention to mental health growing up. I didn't understand the idea of "mind over body." As an adult I have come to understand just how real and true that statement is. I have been blessed with improved mental health and for that I am ever so grateful. While not clinically diagnosed I have struggled with depression many times. After I had Braxton I had post partum depression. I was grateful at that point to live in a time when we understand how to treat these illnesses. I still believe I struggle with seasonal depression, but I feel it's something I can control for the most part. Knowing the downside to depression I am thankful to be mentally strong the majority of the time. I feel blessed to have mental health, but to be able to recognize when I don't have it and to know how to take care of it. This is on blessing I really am grateful for.
