Believe
Anonymous left a comment and is interested how I come to terms with my depression.
First you must recognize for yourself that you have one and that you need help. You must find someone who believes you and you can trust. You must feel safe.
From that moment you must fight the battle with yourself, but you must have a strong believe in the outcome of the battle. The first step in overcoming a disease is in your mind.
Depression is a sickness of the mind. You are no lesser than anyone else or disabled. You are a normally person who is sick.
I do it without medicine, but with the help of my very good therapist. You must face your problem and try to talk about it. Make it clear to the people around you, but only the closest one. Other people can have trouble to understand you and will ignore your problem or make advantage of it.
The most important thing is to BELIEVE that there is an end of the tunnel. By talking or writing about your daily struggle, you will see a little light in the darkness.
