The power of self discovery
Do you know that self discovery is the best form of therapy for a depressed person, at this point all that matters is you, how did you rediscover yourself and your worth, someone might want to learn.
@Luv4rmRachael this is a hard one definitely a area I need practice in. This site helped me to find myself I've been able to be my true self here and that's let my confidence grow. Art and craft has taught me pride, and gratitude is a must it makes you remember what's important where your values are💖
What is the true meaning of self discovery can you see that being the true help that gives a depressed person the help that is needed or will it be the downfall being used to back track the one part that started your depression in the first place?

Sometimes the depression don't start with us.
Sometimes, we are just trying to be the best version of ourselves, getting all the prunes that others point, trying to get get down by all the broken ways we face and harmfull talks everyday... The whole empty positivity stuff all over media... Trying to fit society as society tells us to go by...
I can understand what she is trying to say. Find the true version of ourselves buried into us. Even the weird, unfiting, rejected version that is probably being alone as no one will ever want to conect... But ar least making us, making me, breath reliefed for the first time... As I'm not denying myself anymore, even when I needed my heart to almost stop home alone and no happy memory passing through my mind (just anger and regret)...
That is what find the true version of ourselves is about.
But yeah... I can track where in me my depression and anxiety have started. It was when I tryed to be fiting in a ill society made of shallow stuff and no real conection. Dress myself in a "X" way, act in "Y" manner... Accept people because "they are like this" where I wasn't being nice on me, roleplaying a fiting version of me, tamed, with a smiling mask, while I was getting myself worn and unhappy by thr day, at the end of each day.
I also recognize it was my fault to let this happen to me.
(Ended up venting, hope you don't mind.)

I rediscoverd myself thru chasin passion, setin boundries & learnin 2 luv who I am truly 😊✌️
I'm happy you did, sending love and lights your way.
I realized I haven't been caring enough about myself for making the efforts I did in life.
So I needed to be more self compassionate, more careless about what others think about my intentions to make new connections, and generally stop worrying about things I can't control or predicate.
Caring too much about things beyond my control was making me feel more anxious and nervous rather than enjoying the moment.

- لا أستطيع التحكم بنفسي عند الاستمناء. مجرد الشعور بالانتصاب أو الرغبة الجنسية يدفعني لذلك. جربتُ جميع الحلول الدينية والعلمية، لكنني لا أستطيع التوقف عنه. كنتُ مدمنًا عليه لمدة ثلاث سنوات، وتخلصتُ منه لمدة خمسة أشهر، وبعد ذلك عدتُ إليه بإفراط أكثر من ذي قبل (للعلم، أنا في سن المراهقة).
