I have never been officially diagnosed but I know myself enough to be aware that I have had bouts of depression since I was in my teens. I was as more angsty than your average teenager to start with, but the downs persisted even as I grew into an adult.
Life is never easy. It has ups and downs. That is a universal truth. But it seems I struggle just a bit more than your average person and take longer to bounce back from the downs. I never really quite felt normal, always juuust a tiny bit short of. And I am more than tired of feeling this way and not knowing why. So while I am still feeling relatively okay, I decided to seek help.
I figured it’s better to get ahead and try to do this while I’m clear-headed about it, instead of waiting to fall apart before trying to get much-needed help. Prevention being better than cure and all that. I don’t know what this journey will bring. I only know that I want to understand myself and get clarity on why I am the way I am.
