4 Years


Toxie

Recommended Posts

4 years on meds, feel like Ive been depressed my whole life but I always use the "starting on meds" date as my starting point as its just easier to keep track of. I feel like 4 years is too long, then I read about people who have had depression for 10 years, 30 years.

I'm sick of "it will get better" I'm sick of "you wont always be depressed" because I'm pretty sure I will.

Here's whats improved

-meds dont let me cry so I just feel engulfed in sadness and emptiness

-stopped self harming as a coping method, have started comfort eating instead or spending money i dont have

-im able to wear a convincing mask for 80% of the time I am around people

-my good days are now good instead of "well, im not crying all day, but i want to"

I still want to sleep until something changes. I want to wake up in another world where people are not demonised for not being able to work due to an illness. I want to wake up in a world where Politicians arent all sociopaths and make our lives worse every term. I want to wake up ina world where people care about me and my "friends" are my friends. I want to wake u in a world where Im not jealous of people who are confident and happy. Al this will never happen, I'm so fucking bored of existing.

Hello Toxie, I'm sorry to hear this. I know how you feel as i have suffered with anxiety and depression

for quite some time so sometimes people think that it is an act or being fake but

i know how you feel frustrated and upset the way things are.

I just hope your situation gets better and that everything goes good for you. :). xxx
