Reflecting and Changing: Emotional Edition

This is my last quest/resolution for 2013.
My emotional quest.
This is my most challenging area. 

I have depression/anxiety and there's so much negative shiz going on in my head pretty much constantly.  Almost all of it is self-directed.

The depression/anxiety damns me.

Sure, I've been taking meds.  And they have been life changing.
I know they're not for everyone, but I probably would've been a lost cause by now without them.

But sometimes the negative voices break through.

The voices keep me from talking to people because I'm not cool enough.
The voices keep me from trying new things because I would not be any good at them.
The voices keep me from auditioning for shows or applying for directing gigs because I am sure that I'm not good enough.


All of these feelings of not being enough are keeping me from who knows what!

My resolution is two fold:
I am going to talk back to those negative voices.
I am going to put myself out there more.

I'm gonna make that voice in my head that says "you're not ________ enough!" shut the heck up.

At least, I'm gonna try.

I'm gonna talk back to that voice and say, "You're wrong.  Right now, I am enough."

And, I'm going to try to do more.  
Talk to people more (this is the most terrifying for me, honestly).  Try new things.  Maybe do a show (Jackson allowing).

I'm going to work break through my depression/anxiety damn and be a little healthier emotions wise.
