Freedom from Struggles

Photo taken by a woman who is afflicted with a severe mood disorder, chronic depression and anxiety.

About this photo: I was on a family vacation to the beach recently. At the end of the street where we were staying was a bay with a perfect view of the sunset. I had been suffering from severe depression and anxiety, and being around so many people all the time didn’t help, so I took the sunset as my opportunity to be alone with my thoughts and my camera, away from the chaos. I captured this photo the first night I went out. The birds were hovering because someone had thrown bread into the water. I think the birds made the shot and my night. For me, they symbolize freedom from my illness and personal struggles.
