… as the saying goes.
I have a hard time talking about my depression with friends and family. It's just so personal to me. Oddly, though I have an easier time talking about it with strangers. And anonymity. I guess I still feel a degree of shame around my depression. On an intellectual level I know I shouldn't. It's a bonafide disorder and I'm not weak for succumbing to it. That's what my intellect says.
Of course that's not what I feel. I actually thought I had everything under control until my doctor's assessment at my annual check up indicated I was severely depressed. I feel like a failure for not kicking it so to speak and have just spiraled downward further in the last month since that appointment.
Again, I know I shouldn't feel this way but lo and behold I do.
So that's where I'm at. Not sure where to go from here. Good times.
