I'm still here | What depression feels like
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2024
- I've always struggled with my mental health, and for as long as I can remember I've felt guilty and embarrassed over feeling the way that I do. I've allowed my negative thoughts fester inside me until I just couldn't take it anymore.
In December 2018 I finally made the phone call to the hotline and got some help. It's been a slow process, but I am finally able to return to these moments of utter despair and self hatred and reflect.
For so long, my mind has been so ill. And for so long, I saw no hope, no light, no help.
I want this series to be a beacon of hope and inspiration and motivation for any of you who are feeling down,
🐌 Thank you for watching! 👀

Thank you sharing your with us. Hope you feel so happy for all.
I am sooooooo happy for you. Standing up and getting help just shows how much powerful and inner strength and strong will you have. Like a Phoenix you rose from the ashes and now you will touch the great skies.
Thank you so much and super sorry for the late reply ❤️ I love the story of the Phoenix, it's a good analogy for what rising out of depression is like :)
In December 2018 I finally made the phone call to the helpline and got some help. It's been a slow process, but I am finally able to return to these moments of utter despair and self hatred and reflect. I can finally feel love for myself and gratefulness towards the girl who reached out and said: "I can't do this on my own anymore."
For so long, my mind has been SO ill. And for SO long, I saw no hope, no light, no help.
I want this series to be a beacon of hope and inspiration and motivation for any of you who are feeling down, stuck or lost. It does get better. It always helps to know that you are not alone.
I hope that we can discuss creativity & mental illness, share success stories and inspire each other. xxx Em
Here's to a lifetime of adventures, happiness and incredible stories!
I am very happy for you. I want you to know that inner love is a good kind, and so is outer love, and in this world, sometimes we have to nudge others and teach them how to love us back. It's worth the effort. I remember being suicidal when I was young. I'm glad I didn't do it, because I get to meet people like you, people who simply try to love and share, and that makes you worth a thousand times more than diamonds.
Thank you!! It's hard to be honest and put all those "undesirable" parts of yourself out in the world, but if it helps others around us feel less alone (even if they won't to do the same) then it's all worth it. We're all basically struggling or have been struggling in the past, and it doesn't make it easier to pretend that everything is perfect. It's perfectly okay to not always be okay, and saying it out loud makes the burden easier to carry. Happier days will come! Hugs :)
