Getting Better

[Koga]

I think my depression is getting better, but I don’t know. I haven’t felt too bad recently, but it feels really weird. I don’t know if that means I’m better or not, I know what it feels like to be depressed but it doesn’t feel like I am anymore, sure if I think about all the bad things in my life it feels horrible, but it’s easier to ignore it all now, or get past it. My grades suddenly switched from “I might not graduate” to the top of my class. I’m more honest with my boyfriend about how I feel, I haven’t fought with my family in a few weeks and I don’t mind waking up as much as I used to.

I really hope it keeps up, it doesn’t feel nice yet really, just weird. I’m sure it’ll feel good soon though, to not be so stressed.

Koga, that's actually a good sign that you are not quite sure how you are feeling.

You're better but feel weird. Give your mind time to embrace that good feeling.

It only has known depression. The sun is starting to shine through. Breathe and

enjoy the good moments. xx

What has changed for you recently? New meds, smooth sailing with relationships at home and work?

[Koga in reply to Rick1on1]

I don’t really know to be honest

How's your diet and exercise?

Anyway - just keep what you doing - its working

I will for sure, my habits weren’t great but when I started feeling better I started working out and eating lots of fruit, which is nice.

Continue to look forward and not backwards. You are getting better but it does take time. Sometimes it's "weird" because you haven't felt well/positive in a while and you are getting used to this.

That makes sense, thanks
