As I mentioned last night, I would make a thread on how I have triumphed over my depression. Last night I felt like no other time ever before. Almost as a very heavy load had finally lifted off of my shoulders and that inspired me to catalogue the last 4 grueling years of my life
It all started approx. 4 years ago when someone I knew committed suicide, I couldn’t understand it. Never did I inquire why and thus I let it sit. It started growing, a sadness began to develop. The first 3 months or so I did nothing and then.
It reached a boiling point and as I couldn& #39;t cope. I turned my emotions off, everything became meh. This inhibited me from enjoying life and thus I stepped to therapy for help.
But alas, I didn& #39;t feel this therapy did much for me. So I stopped. I had therapy for only about a year. And thus the coming 3 years from that point were nothing short of a cruel uphill battle.
I had many dark moments in which I contemplated the darkest of options about six months into this dark age as I would call it. I thought, you know what : I& #39;m gonna ask God for help. I thought if You exist let me feel some happiness.
The coming morning, I awoke with a lighter feeling in my heart, this is how I became a Catholic. but the coming years would still be a battle, a struggle. Slowly but surely, things became lighter, a hope on the horizon.
Last year was a turning point, as I began my life anew almost. Started actively involving religion in my life much more. This was also the time I met some great people who helped me.
But this year, has to be the ultimate victory. I met people that could relate to me, felt the way I did, no longer did I feel alone in this struggle.
And then I started changing my lifestyle, working out, changing the way I ate. This was the turning point, the battle had tipped, the ball was now in depressions court so to say.
And it swung and missed the ball, I won the game, checkmate. And I could have never done it without the lot of you.
So from the bottom of my heart Thank you !
So from the bottom of my heart Thank you !
Never did I think I& #39;d reach this moment, that I could say these words with confidence.
Naturally bumps in the road may still exist, but the rifts are healing.
Feels a bit memey to ask but, Can we get some W& #39;s in chat
