just regular depressed :party-cat:
I'll take what I can fuckin get
I'm lowkey really proud of myself for pulling out of this shit without antidepressants or prescriptions of any kind (which is just dumb hubris, honestly; don't be like me), and only mild amounts of substance abuse. Oh right haha and a shit ton of crying, like massive amounts, like every day, all day, until I cried myself to sleep. But I finally reached out to people about it, even though it made me feel vulnerable and pathetic, and was amazed to discover I actually have friends who care. People have been inviting me to all sorts of social shit that I frankly would never do usually, but getting outside my comfort zone and being around people I would never normally bond with actually made me see the good in those people, who I usually find insufferable. I don't know. It's just like after a month straight of the soul's darkest night, out of nowhere, the light just broke. Or my brain did.
Either way, I'm happy I no longer want to die! Please let this feeling last :crush:
Like ten or twelve years ago I did the same, and I'm still alive.
The feeling can last, hang in there comrade.
:soviet-heart:
So proud of you comrade! Let the good vibes roll.
:comfy: :soviet-heart:
That's wonderful to hear! It's not easy to reach out when you're in need :heart-sickle:
The fact that you did that without meds is a serious accomplishment. Congrats! :soviet-heart:
Samesies but I met a girl at a concert last nigjt and got her number so even less
Don't be afraid to try living, good things can happen
Let’s fucking goooo :lets-fucking-go:
It was only recently in my own depression journey that I understood the difference between mental health stabilization and mental health growth and that often people give you one when you need the other. Hopefully now that you feel stabilized you can begin the journey of growth that puts all that shit in the rear view (or at least far enough away that when you do feel like shit it’s a fundamentally different and better version of feeling depressed)
Hell fucking yeah, love this, glad for you hitting this point in your journey comrade!
Nice. Keep it up. :stalin-approval:
(Family and children aside) the one thing that gets me through my darkest times is remembering: when I'm gone, there's one less person to push back against the fascists. You spent so much effort keeping me alive, so I gotta stay in the fight for you now. I'm not giving up when it's your ass on the line instead of mine.
