Out Of The Frying Pan...
Out of the frying pan...
So I just got diagnosed and put on treatment for depression a few months back. I knew I had it for years, and finally sought help.
It is one of the greatest things I've ever done with my life. If you're struggling with any mental illness find help.
Mental health is finally becoming a dialogue. People are beginning to understand and accept it's importance. Nowadays we have a goldmine of effective medication and therapy for recovery. So if that is something you struggle with keep fighting and don't be afraid to find help.
Personally since starting on my medication I finally feel normal. I feel like myself. I used to think about suicide AT LEAST once a day. Now I don't think about it. I just don't. It's helped change my outlook. Instead of dwelling, I look towards the future. I gotta say it has been beautiful.
Inversely, I feel like I'm out of the frying pan and into the fire. Now that my depression is managed, I've had to face the reality of the issues I've not yet dealt with. The result has been me using some unhealthy coping mechanisms. One of those mechanisms is disordered eating.

I believe when George said this, he was speaking for everyone who lives on Mother Earth. No matter what country you’re from.

Hahahaha I'm dying! It's so true!
i always thought of a king sized bed as being a bit bigger than a queen, but now that i have one, i can tell you that a king sized bed is an absurdity. i can sprawl out, and my husband can sprawl out, and the cat can sprawl out, and none of us are touching. i reach out in the night, and find only pillows and plush walruses. i reach further and eventually find his elbow. he rolls over the comforters to try and find me. “i have crossed oceans of bed to be with you,” he says. there is a vast expanse of bed untouched, unmapped, unexplored. the cat is still trying to sleep on my face.
If you need help. Get help it will be the best thing you every fucking do. Not to say it will be easy. It will take time, but it's worth it.
what depression is really like:
not showering regularly
not bushing your teeth regularly
living in filth
caring about your grades but not enough to do anything about them
thinking about suicide more than graduating
considering suicide whenever any problem arises
tired
no motivation
no energy
walking is so hard
sometimes even talking is too much work because you’re so god damn tired
laying in bed for hours because you’re too tired to move
feeling nothing but sometimes everything
knowing you’re not alone but still feeling alone
that constant mindset of, “Who cares? I wont be around much longer anyways.”

People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is “you’re safe with me” - that’s intimacy.

You ever have that moment...
When you wake up and realize, none of this matters. The social constructs we've created are like an advanced sim that is MADE to only benefit some and keep the rest in line. Why the fuck do we subscribe to this? It makes me hate waking up to this world.
