Why Did I Make This Depression Blog?
My depression didn’t make sense, and it wasn’t an easy fix. Once I realized this, I began connecting the dots for myself. It was incredibly difficult, especially since depression drains you of energy. I wanted to stay in bed all day, a common experience for many people with depression. Researching is especially challenging when you’re depressed.
I wanted to create a place where others could learn and explore without having to sift through billions of pages on the internet. A one-stop shop for everything related to depression.
There’s often a disconnect between doctors, symptoms, diagnoses, and patients understanding what could be happening to them. I’ve lived through it, and it’s a nightmare, especially when you’re not mentally well enough to deal with the mental gymnastics. It’s exhausting.
I hope to help you overcome even the smallest of hurdles by providing valuable insights.
What Have I Learned?
My journey has allowed me to befriend some amazing people, including medical scientists, MDs, DOs, naturopaths, biochemists, and others. From my own experience, I can tell you that life is hard, but no matter your struggle, never give up.
There is always a brighter side.
When those dark moments hit, do anything you can to distract yourself:
- Take a shower
- Read
- Sleep
- Eat
- Call a friend or family member
- Play with a pet
- Play a video game
- Go for a run/walk
- Listen to music
- Watch a TV show/movie
You must try anything to help you get through until the dark cloud passes.
I know that even getting out of bed can sometimes be a challenge, but you’ve got this!
Just keep going!
