Don’t Be Ashamed Of Your Depression

Don’t be ashamed of your depression.

Before I start, I’m not a proffesional, I’m just a person who’ve been in the darkest places in my own mind and thought I couldn’t get out.

Speaking by the experience, thinking less of your problem and questioning its reality is not gonna help you. This is not a mood swing, this is not your pms, or just the bad weather. Never think less of your own depression. By all means I’m not saying make depression your at most topic. After all it’s something you can survive trough. But do not ever think that your depression means less than someone elses. Per myself I always thought, Why would I be depressed? I’m over selling my feelings. I have a lot of things, I have health, I have family, people that really deeply care about me.

And when i decided to open up, I recieved comments like It’s all in your head. Why are you depressed? Is there really an answer that I can give it to you that’ll please you?

But don’t be afraid, not everybody shamed me like this. I also recieved incredible amount of support that helped me get back on my feet, made me feel and want to stay alive.

Nonetheless if you’re having any type feelings like this, don’t feel ashamed, talk to someone. Someone who will understand you, seek proffesional help. But do not underestimate how much your mental health means. This may not feel like your arm is chopped off, but it is all gonna give you the same result. Your health doesn’t just mean your physical health.

For anyone who is reading this, share your feelings, don’t think just because something tragic didn’t happen to you that’d fullfill your expectation to be allowed to feel depressed.

You deserve to be happy.
