I am open about who I am. Probably too open, although I feel like I need to be because it always shows eventually. I feel like I lost credibility at work by having a bad breakdown over family issues. It was suggested I take fmla by management and even friends. It was humiliating.
But I recently started with a personal trainer because I know I have potential to be much stronger. I had a sense of drive and discipline before, but as my mental health declined, I lost it. My trainer is impressed with how hard I can push. She asked me what my goals were in the gym, and I told her it’s to get stronger so I can prove to myself that I am not defined by mental illness. People have seen me at my lowest, but as I get stronger and get my drive back better than before, they will respect the discipline and determination it took to climb out of that darkness.
