Ye, go for it.
I'm trying to figure all that out at the moment.
I "woke up" to realising I have been depressed 🫥 for 5 years (except, it's actually 7 or 8 years because COVID just fucked my perception of time). I've not been myself, I've not been happy with myself, and I have just kept on going as usual cause it's the easy route.
I'm trying to fix it, and fuck me is it hard.
Thankfully, I was chatting to a friend. And they started talking about their mental health, their journey and all that. And that's what made me realise I should get help.
One of the things they said that stuck with me was "just keep talking about it". And that's everything from people genuinely asking how you are, to actually asking for help.
Aye covid has made time lose all meaning. This year has just been a blur too.
It's good your speaking to people it's surprising how much that helps. My biggest roadblock right now is fighting the urge to not speak with the thought process being I don't want to dump my shit on someone else.
My wife and sister have both been a rock especially my sister as she it turns out has already worked through a lot of the stuff I'm currently fighting with.
Keep up the good work
