@Tripleplay Hey :) How long have you been fighting depression? If you don't mind my asking of course. I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's not easy to deal with. I really hope that happiness and peace come to you
@mytwistedsoul
Hey, soul. Thank you for the kind words. :) and as long as I can remember. It became evident to me in my middle school years. What about you?
@Tripleplay You're welcome :) It's nice to see you again. Middle school - that's along time. It's probably been that long here too. It just varies in severity. Lately it's just been worse and harder for me to hide it
@mytwistedsoul
I 100 percent relate. Are you seeing a professional? I cannot remember if you already told me this or not. I have very poor memory.
@Tripleplay My memory sucks too tbh. I do see someone but tbh sometimes I think it should probably be more than once a week - poor guy lol
@mytwistedsoul
I’m sorry you feel you need to see him more. I hope 7 cups provides some support for you to somewhat fill that gap.
I just started to finally see someone again since I now have insurance through my new employer. My first appointment went better than expected. I wasn’t asked too many uncomfortable questions which I liked.
I made it clear in my forms that I filled out before the appointment that I was more so looking for medication to help rather than counseling. I do not think I like counseling all too much or talk therapy. However, I know she will sometimes have no choice but to ask me certain things.
i hope the meds work too. I will try to be patient with it and give it time to work. Are you on any meds?
@Tripleplay Tbh I'm here more for others than myself. I have a hard time admitting when I'm struggling and need help. I can be alittle awkward with talking about things I'm dealing with lol. The therapist I've gone to for a few years so there's a level of trust with him
@mytwistedsoul
I am glad you was able to get comfortable enough to share some things. I do wish you the best on your mental health journey. You deserve it.
@Tripleplay Thank you - I wish you the best on your journey too :)
@Tripleplay
I hope you do to, Your a great human who deserves happiness and peace. Hows everything treating you right now?
@Maeeeeebae999
Thank you, Mae. You are always so kind and considerate. I am doing better. I am working on self-improvement.
@Tripleplay Hey. I know things are tough... Please keep in the fight. I its all about enduring the best we can within our means. do not compare yourself to others, its all about feeling in control and doing little things that make you feel like your hand is on the steering wheel. set little goals to make you feel like your life is progressing and moving forward. you can do it! you will feel happy again! you have the power and the ability!!
@jessie289

Yeah, I am doing okay. I just had a lot going on and haven't been too social. Thank you for checking in. That means a lot. 😄 How have you been?
@Tripleplay hi sweetie ❤ I've missed seeing you around, are you doing ok?? Remember happiness is not a destination, it's lies within you ❤ I wish and pray that your life becomes happy and peaceful. Gives you a giant tiny hug ❤
@Tinywhisper11
Hey, Lola. 😄 I am doing better than before, thanks to God. I appreciate you checking in. I feel more refreshed and a little more motivated. I just hope it will last. I am trying to have no expectations and take things slowly. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist this Friday so that I can take some meds to help give me an extra push. I must keep going.
How have you been?
@Tripleplay I believe you will find that happiness and peace you are looking for. It may take time and effort, but you're on the right path by acknowledging your feelings and seeking support. Keep focusing on your well-being, and things will get better.
