The cool thing about depressing is it doesn& #39;t care how happy you could or should feel. It still makes you feel like things are going badly, even though they& #39;re clearly not.
It& #39;s dissonance from your brain and your senses. And that makes things even worse.

ME: I had a lovely day at home!
MY BRAIN: Yeah but we sad tho
ME:... But that doesn& #39;t make any sense-
MY BRAIN: YEAH. BUT WE SAD. THO.

The medication helps. The therapy helps. Time and experience helps
Sometimes I& #39;m really sad though. Because you don& #39;t cure depression. You learn to better manage it. And sometimes it& #39;s hard to manage. But that& #39;s okay. We get through these times to the better times.

Usually I only tweet about my depression when I& #39;m drunk and it& #39;s late at night. Then I delete the tweets. Because I& #39;m embarrased.
I& #39;m not going it delete these tweets though. Please be gentle. Especially about autocorrect changing "depression" to "depressing" in my first tweet

Sometimes I worry about my troopers finding out I have depression. But to be honest? I hope they do know. I hope they see its okay to get help. To get treatment. To ask someone for a hand in managing a very difficult fucking condition. To see the treatment isn& #39;t weakness.
If you& #39;re currently serving or a veteran, I encourage you to seek therapy and treatment. If you& #39;re uncomfortable with the military system as AD, please contact Military One Source. They& #39;ll set you up with a civilian provider and it won& #39;t show up in your records.
Learning that seeking therapy wasn& #39;t weakness was a huge hurdle for me. Accepting that taking medication wasn& #39;t weakness was also huge. Please don& #39;t be like me. Don& #39;t be afraid to seek help. Take the steps to a better life now.
