It’s strange when you put someone like Jordan Peterson on a pedestal as a pillar of strength and you realize you might be emotionally stronger than your heroes.

This is not a dig at Jordan. It’s just, I think average people who maybe have deep fears are much ....
stronger than they believe and should have a little faith in themselves.

2013: Feb: my lifelong dear friend Jen was murdered while leaving work after a child abuse situation involving her ex. (Her murderer was never brought to justice.)

April: my most beloved sister....
died out of nowhere.

August: my grandma died.

December: I miscarried my first pregnancy.

I have had anxiety my entire adult life and if you had told me I would have a year like that I would have told you I’d be hospitalized with a nervous breakdown.

I made it. ....
I didn’t use any drugs (prescription or otherwise) or alcohol to cope. I shocked myself. I had too many other people falling apart around me to go die in hole. I felt a sense of responsibility. I don’t think I ever really delalt with losing the baby. I was still ....
grieving over all the other loss. But maybe I’ll deal with it one day. I do wonder of it was my little girl.

It was a terrible year but have faith in yourself. Have confidence. You’re stronger than you know or give yourself credit for.
