Nothing comes easy

What Happened?

by Joanne Gill-Maddick


Just pick up the pieces and move on. No one said it would be easy. I had job after job, nothing was working out for me. I was starting to think I had a learning disability. I even got checked out, but I am fine.

I got so down on myself, I felt like a failure. Two years ago I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. It was interfering with my everyday functioning .

I couldn't do justice to any job. I got help for anxiety and depression. I am currently working a position which I've had for three months. I'm presently doing well and in a good place mentally.

I still have my struggles; however, I have learned new ways to cope. This has helped me perform better at work. Im thankful for the supports which played a big role in my reaching a comfortable level of wellness.

Write a story that starts with: "Just pick up the pieces..."


This is a true story from my life. I worked hard to get where I am. I refused to give up. I write daily as part of my therapy. It helps immensely. I thank God for helping me through hard times. My photo is from google.
