As silly as it sounds, it's great news that you got diagnosed and are getting help now!
It's absolutely the first and most important step towards getting better, I hope things are going well :)

Silly or not, I feel the same. Sooo glad to finally understand what's going on and being able to treat it! Thanks for your support!

Consider yourself hugged! I have had my own experiences with depression and anxiety, it sucks and ain't easy but unlike me back then you actually got yourself some professional help, that's worth a lot I'd say!

Get well soon!
Try to do a lot of self care. In the last few years it went up and down with me too and I can empathize a bit.

Thank you for support and I wish your state will also improve!

Oh ive read your last journal and I saw the hints about depression already... my bipolar girlfriend had the same issues with hating her artworks. Ill tell you, it might be really hard to treat, but medicine work and it gets better, at least a bit easier. ADs should help!

Thanks for your support! And best wishes for your girlfriend's mental health!

Thank you so much <3 the same goes to you!

It's not possible to overstate the the seriousness and importance of mental/emotional health! Hundreds of thousands are fighting an uphill battle with it every single day, and far too many don't even realize it! THAT'S the pandemic nobody wants to talk about; but that doesn't make any less real! 🫂

Very true

My dude, I've been on ADs for over 5 years and on therapy for 1 year. It's better everyday, I promise. Just keep in mind that ADs may not suit you at first, then you need to get different ones or adjust the dosing, it's all about patience. But it does get better - especially with therapy <3

get well soon and take care

Depression is no joke. Nearly killed my big brother. Hope you got a competent doctor.

I was diagnosed with it a few years ago after trying to Minecraft myself and things certainly improved after getting help, medication and therapy so this can indeed be a great thing that you know now. It means you can get that help you need.

Good luck! :)

You can do it friend! I believe in you. If you need anything you know where to find me!

D sucks D tbh. Best advice I can give is try to keep your mind occupied. Even just music in the background can help. And remember there are always people you can talk to, be they friends or strangers (as in a support group or similar).
Everyone deals with things better in different ways, so listen to advice and see what works best for you! :)

Heads up, getting on to an antidepressant, especially an SSRI, can be very rough. Stick with it, they take time to build up in your system and become effective. Get well soon

Yep I have SSRI, I believe. It's Escitaloprám + Hydroxyzine for anxiety control

I really hope it helps you feel like yourself again.

Depression suuuuuuuuuuuuuucks and is also a dirty, dirty liar. But they're very convincing in their lies.

Here's to finding the right treatment that helps you beat back that beast.
