So I have depression.

I mean I haven't been officially diagnosed, but my GP, psychologist, my parents and me have been throwing the word around like a hot potato. It's been progressively bad over the last few weeks and I just need to ramble.

 

Ugh. UGHGHHGHGH. I'm just not really thinking or feeling or anything and I want to do stuff but I don't want to do anything at all. I've spent a lot of time just sort of lying around doing nothing (or crying lol. I mean not lol. It just makes me uncomfortable and when I'm uncomfortable I add a lol. Lol.).

 

I feel really bad about feeling really bad, too. Like mum and dad are really worried and they put a lot of effort into making me feel better and I feel super guilty. I also feel guilty that I even have such a great support network (which is so stupid - I think when I'm feeling okay feeling guilty about it turns into feeling grateful for it, but I'm not feeling okay). And I'm missing a tonne of school, and I've already missed a tonne of school this year and I feel like I'm letting my friends and my teachers down - especially my teachers, they've been so good about managing me being away, and every time I am away I feel bad about it.

 

Ugh. So that's where I'm at. I'm going to try go to school for a bit tomorrow. Hope y'all are well.

I appreciate the virtual hug @honky 🙂

I'm alright today I guess. Not at school though, which is frustrating 😞

It was actually really good @redhead. We talked about the cycle of depression and how guilt is a part of that, and that was validating because I've been feeling hella guilty. I also went to headspace with dad today and that was helpful too, and I'm feeling a lot better right now 🙂

@roseisnotaplant we are here if you ever want to talk.

I'm glad things went well with your psychologist and you went to headspace. Well done on being so proactive. 🙂

Also I'm seeing my psychologist for a second time on Thursday - mum moved the appointment up.
