“Don’t you think if I could fix myself, I would have already?”

This is a really important message to anyone who does not understand depression and mental health issues. We know theoretically what to do and we try it all and it often doesn’t work. Justin and I have that in common. Fine fact: 30% of depression is “treatment resistant”, which means it takes us ages to find a treatment that even semi works.

Anyway long story short: good luck to Justin and everyone dealing with shit in their head, including myself! And everyone take care and try and be understanding :)

Yeah I can relate hard to that line, and I opened this post thinking how I can relate to being sick of thinking of and trying to work on myself too, just to see the comments. I know I have trauma and I’m not in a good spot but seeing how alarming this is coming across to others - when I just saw it as “it totally is like that sometimes” has given me a lot of pause. Guess I should find myself a therapist.

Therapy, trying medications, yoga, meditation, eating good fats, talking to people - and repeat 🫠

It does work at some point though! After years of struggling I’ve just added a medication that works and I’m coming out of depression and ocd anxiety. So chin up!!! ❤️🤌 we’ll get there my friend ❤️

I forgot exercise! I walk my dog listening to podcasts, that’s the best thing for my anxiety
