Hello! I'm new...

I go by Invisible, and my pronouns are she/her and they/them. I try to be positive but can't all the time so I'm looking for people to help me get out of those sad moods.

Sometimes with depression when our brain chemistry is wonky, and when we are on the down side of this disease...we will just feel sad, there doesn't have to be a reason to feel sad, it's just chemistry. Then after a few days or so we may actually feel like we are having an okay day or two. Some people because of extenuating circumstances like trauma, child abuse, loss, etc., may also have the added 'mental injury' to deal with. There doesn't always have to be a reason to feel sad when we have depression, but when we are also trying to heal emotionally, it makes it harder to learn coping mechanisms. Knowledge is power, and I would read as many posts and comments here for ideas and understanding of how this disease effects many of us. But no one would be able to cure you, or stop your sadness unfortunately, that you kind of have to do yourself.
