Since I was 11 I struggled with depression and anxiety,I go to an amazing psychoanalitic therapist(yes,psychoanalysis works as well,just to remind that it isn't only one type of therapy).Recovery is indeed hard and difficult but it is so worthy,I'm not cured and I'll never be as there isn't such a thing but I am now a 16 year old which is almost finishing high school and has accomplished a lot of things.When I was that little girl who would have panick attacks every day in school I had never imagined I'd be at this place now.
Yes,I am still anxious and this year due to some facts I had a bad depressive episode.But thanks to my amazing therapist who has always believed in me I can say I am seeing the world and myself in colours again.
I wrote this to any of You who feel like You will never get better.I've always had really low self esteem and believing in my recovery is still very hard,but now knowing where I came I can tell you that no matter What You have,things can get better.
I have a mental ilness but mental ilness doesn't have me anymore.
