Dear @rightleft

All of these things that you are thinking about and experiencing regarding depression, are actually things that are branches of certain beliefs you have about yourself. you may feel numb because you have gotten used to it. when you hold on to negative emotions for so long, and depending upon what beliefs those negative emotions represent, you may become more and more unfeeling of yourself and you may be looking around and finding something to make you feel something. Depression is definitely curable, it just takes proper understanding.

Dear @moominsnorkgirl

If you are taking medication for almost a year now, I’m not sure if I would call it “mild” depression. you are feeling guilty because you feel like you are bothering other people y feeling down around them. I used to feel that way too. I used to think that there was something wrong with me, because i would feel down around other people and no one gave me the time of day and so I thought I was bothering people. but i couldn’t help but feel that way. I just felt so alone and lonely and broken all the time. But then I was able to find way to beat not only depression and anxiety, and it did not involve any medication to do it. nor did it require me to be harsh with myself.

I want to help both of you guys out, I don’t think you guys nor anyone deserves to feel that way. Tell me more about how you guys are feeling. how long have you guys been feeling this way?
