I am recovering from deep depression of three months , I choose to let most people know it since I was so obvious . I did not want to burden them just let them know it was me . I did not go around some friends as I had too much to work on my self .
I know its me, they were all supportive but the fight was mine . I scared my brother and I had to calm him down . He has too many problems to take mine on as far as I'm concerned . I figured it out and changed my ways with help . I depleted my self physically in the beginning and I let my diabetes get out of control . I drank too much wine which further drove my health down .
I got some medication for depression and made myself walk and ride my bike , got my diet and diabetes on the mend .
I studied nervous ills and found claire weeekes on you tube, she helped me a lot . At times I had known I could not recover .. I was wrong . I still have anxiety but I can control it some . I still have problems but I don't fear them .
I think following this forum and posting some has helped me . In trying to sooth some others I think it reflects back into your own mind slowly .
I'm sure if this went on much longer it would have been hard on everyone near me and I'm lucky to get it under control this soon . I do feel for those who are still fighting it and you must be strong to fight it a long time. Give yourself a lot of credit for that .
I do believe that we are still in the dark ages as far as the mind goes ,lets hope they learn to fix it as well as they do the other parts of the body .
