Compared to 6 months ago, I'm doing better.
6 months ago I only sat in a corner of my room staring at the carpet. I went to school, but my mom had to write me a todolist (have breakfast, take your meds, brush your teeth) or I'd forget to eat. The depression was overwhelming, all-consuming. I barely ate and drank. I didn't feel hunger or fear. Now the depression has lessened to the point I can actually feel fear again, which isn't pleasant, but is a good thing. And I can use that fear to take actions so that the fear doesn't come through, which is also a new thing. Before I was so depressed I couldn't bother.
Just wanted to share.
