The easiest friendship you've ever earned

[JBradley]

Hello everyone, I'm new here. My name is Jason Bradley, but I prefer Bradley. It's nice to be a part of a community, giving data to researchers while getting data from each other. I've been dealing with this shit for almost half my life and it has never really become any easier to deal with. I find it a chore to enjoy my life, I subtly push loved ones away even though I desperately need their help, and I couldn't eat or sleep consistently even if I was paid to do so. I know everyone with MDD is going through roughly the same thing, you all know what this is like. I wouldn't wish a moment of this on anyone. I want to help you in any way I can because I know how terrible every day can be. Sure there are moments of joy where you can focus and see the colors, but we have all know what the other 99% is like. I consider all of you to be my friends. I hope we can recover together and make the necessary research a bit easier.

Welcome Bradley....knowledge is power, and feeling connected to others here who do understand depression, self sabotaging relationships, abandonment issues, truama, and mental health is an incredible resource for understanding ourselves. Not feeling alone, and knowing your not the only one with all this stuff. Reading posts and comments is incredibly empowering for me, I hope it helps you. I also read everything I can on the internet to understand why I feel the way I do, what is current in the medical community dealing with mental health, and any other self help info I can find.
