so.. I know I’m some random person nobody here probably even knows to begin with, but it’s high time I was honest to myself and the people I care about, and if in the end, my message today reaches or helps even one person.. then that’s enough for me.
I wanna start by addressing that what I’m about to say is coming from my own experiences with depression especially over the past three years, but really, my entire life over all.
My experiences are not the same as everyone else’s, nor do I suddenly think I’m some kind of a mental health professional, like I said before, I’m just someone who wants to try and help other people maybe not have to go through what I’ve gone through.
Love y’all by the way, and I hope that as long as this thread may be, someone out there finds it worth the read. Considering it’s not quite what we’re here to discuss, I’ll make my own story quick.
Over the past three years of my life, along side other mental health issues, I’ve been experiencing extreme depression, and with my lows amongst other things came self hatred, self harming, and in the past few years and on more rare occasions, even suicidal thoughts..
Though recently, I’ve had wonderful friends who’ve been helping me, one person particularly in mind who has helped me make more progress in the past few months than I have in my entire life, I’ve still over these three years, been too afraid to seek professional help of any kind.
It& #39;s gotten me where I am now, which is nowhere, standing even further back on the path to happiness and success than I started out to begin with, though I’ve gained wonderful, kind, supportive friends who make my life worth living in ways I never thought I would feel again
I myself haven’t done anything to break the cycle I let myself be caught in endlessly, which is why I’m here today, to maybe prevent even just one person from making the mistakes I have made for so long.
