So I had a doctor's appointment this early morning. And was finally diagnosted with Major Depressive Disorder. The shock wasn't huge for me because I'm used to being told I sound/look/seem depressed. It wasn't a huge deal to me. But it was a huge moment of realization for those around me. My life is what it is. I'm not going to try and make excuses but it's a battle within myself. I refused to acknowledge it's existence but it seemed to have trampled over me. It won.
:( i hope you get better, it's a battle you can get on top of one day i hope and when you do you'll feel like the strongest you've ever been. if you need anything gimme a mail x
It hasn鈥檛 won, going to get it diagnosed means the ball is now on your court. You鈥檙e already one step ahead. It鈥檚 important to take each day or even each hour as it comes and to be patient with yourself. It may not be easy but you will get through it
Facing its existence is a huge step. It's not an easy thing to understand but any bit of progress is progress. You're not alone and recovery is possible <3
What?! Oh lord...we've all been through depression, me included, what's important is the you face it head on! Don't give up West we're all here for you!
You can absolutely defeat it. One day at a time. Don't put huge expectations on yourself, don't be down on yourself because of it, and don't try to fake it till you make it. Just day one day as it comes and deal with what you can. Take little steps to improve things at your own pace. You will defeat it.
