I want you to live the best life that you can. For most of you things will get better because your depression will eventually go away.
Sometimes it clears up on its own. Sometimes you take medicine for a few months and realize you don’t need it anymore. Sometimes it takes a few years but it goes away. Sometimes people like me have it all your life, but you can control the legally awful stuff.
I know a man that had severe PTSD. It took him 3 years with hard work and studying and going to therapy, but he feels great now. Sometimes the work pays off. You won’t know until you try.
You have options
I want you to understand that you do have options. You also need to understand that things take work or medicine or a strong enough mind to know that the brain chemicals are telling you lies.
I have been on medication since my 30’s and should have been on them well before that. Never be too lost to talk to someone. i’ve had to learn to know which are bad chemicals or when it’s just me making bad choices. You have to decide for yourself which way to go, but I will tell you that I have tried a lot of ways that I thought were the right way to go and found out that it’s not.
Is that failure?? No, because, sometimes an idea sounds amazing, but lead you into another idea.
You will be where you are supposed to be when you are supposed to be there.
When you can look back as far as I have, you will see just how true that statement is. You can look back and see that your life is OK and sometimes even amazing. You can look back and see what amazing things you did that, at the time, you didn’t even enjoy doing. Or maybe you enjoyed doing it a lot.
After all these years do I still get depressed? Yes, of course. I’m still very careful about what I watch on TV or read and even what I do. If I think it will pull me under, I don’t do it.
I have learned to say NO to people and when I need to say that I have to go now and leave.
Hindsight is amazing and you can see why most things have happened and what you learned from it.
Don’t give up now. We all have a job to do and sometimes it is amazing.
