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.
