Hey yall new member
Hi I'm Meredith, totally new to this and not really sure what to do but I thought I'd give it a try. I'll try anything at this point. I think I've struggled with depression off and on since I was a teenager but I didn't realize that's what was going on until I was about 24. I'm 26 now and just started therapy a few months ago, seeking help for repressed trauma that suddenly surfaced this year.
I was diagnosed with MDD and I take SSRIs now but I still struggle daily with anxiety, depression, self harm and complex PTSD symptoms. Sometimes I feel like my weekly therapy sessions can't keep up with how rapidly my mind feels like its deteriorating and the only thing that relieves me is to talk through stuff. Soooo here I am!
Hey @shieldmaiden95 glad your here. Happy to talk anytime you need to, I also deal with depression which I’d had since I was young but wasn’t fully diagnosed until I was in my early 30’s. Have you tried guided journaling yet? I bought a guided journal for depression off Amazon and it’s been helping me. Maybe check that out for some extra help? Anyways here for you and glad you made it here. Take care
