Before depression: life was exciting and there were many things to look forward to.
With depression: I can now picture the end of my life without fear.
Depression has been a real potential killer for me over the years. I’m 35 and have been married for over 13 years and has 2 kids and I’m just realizing I’ve been depressed almost my whole life.
It causes me to lose my short term memory and really kills my motivation and drive but I’m trying really hard to push through it each day! I do this by making a list of goals and things I need to do either that day or that week. I feel so much better when I am able to gather my thoughts and put them on paper and then have something to work towards.
depression has been a challenge but I am learning to overcome it and I know you will too!!
@ASilentObserver it has been a cycle throughout my married life, hit bottom and then rebound
towards the light.
@ASilentObserver I don't know. I just feel like something enjoyable should be over. Because I can't quite focus on it maybe
@ASilentObserver apparently my depression was 83% last week. I don't know how to fix it. I like dancing.
