Before I tweet about what I want to tweet about, this is a reminder that depression manifests differently in different people.

With that being said, I feel like I'm in a funk (and yes, that's a euphemism for feeling like I'm in a depressive episode).

I was diagnosed with depression when I was pretty young. Like 7th or 8th grade. But even for me, these episodes look differently a lot of the time.

This time around, I'm thinking there's a lot of self-doubt. I'm second-guessing everything. I'm feeling incapable in many areas.

The worst thing about it is I can't really discern if any of these doubts are coming from a "real" place or if it's all just me not feeling good about me.

And can I just say that it's REALLY difficult making "important" decisions when you don't feel good about you?

I don't really have a point to this thread. It's just something I'm trying to deal with right now.

I think it's important to vocalize these things. Not just for myself but for anyone else on the TL who's having these kinds of struggles. Because this shit feels really lonely.

When I get like this, I feel really stupid. And I feel like nobody really gets it.

So if you're reading these like, "I feel that," I want to make it clear: You're not alone. You're not stupid. And I get it.
