depression?

It’s been a while since I posted.

For as sometimes my depression and anxiety disappears for a while or atmost feels like it does.

Well today my depression hit at the very start of my shift of work.. and I’m trying to remind myself of positive thoughts? A little hard but yea. I feel like I’ve been through so much even though I feel healed by it. Deep down I know I’m not. I’ve tried counselling many times and not just for short periods of times but I spent 4 years in counselling to realize that it didn’t help me as much. I know counselling takes time. A lot of time to. But it just felt like that wasn’t it?

I’ve tried anti depressants but I’m just not up for that. I’m self training myself to start self love and over the course of 2 years of training myself like that I’ve actually physically andx mentally felt better.

I meditate. I do little self care nights. I left all the toxic people in my life and met new nice people with similar interests in me. I have a supportive relationship.

I do know that as a person with depression and anxiety that those symptoms won’t be gone forever but some days/weeks it’ll probably just be difficult for me.

I just do my best to get through them. It works but yet is still a hassle.

I don’t feel the need to chat to a professional. I’m not saying they don’t work or i don’t like it. I just don’t think I need it as I’ve improved a lot in my own ways with support next to me.

anyways today just seems to be the depression button

Depression is a tough feeling that many people go through at some point. It can feel like a heavy weight that makes even simple tasks feel hard, and it often leaves people feeling low, tired, or just not themselves. If you’re experiencing these kinds of feelings, know that you’re not alone, and many people find help by talking with someone who understands. One option is to connect with an experienced counseling service where you can get support in a safe space to talk about what’s on your mind. Small steps like reaching out can make a big difference in finding relief.
