i have borderline depression.

this is not an 'oh poor me' journal entry. i'm not looking for sympathy. i just thought i'd tell you because i don't think it is something that should be hidden.

it's very minor, nothing like what some people go through, i don't need to be medicated and i'm going to see a psychologist very soon so i can start talking to a professional about it and get help on how to get back to being me.

so i guess i'm lucky in that respect.

it's not a very nice feeling, but i'm glad i know what it is now and that i'm working towards getting better. taking the first step and saying 'okay i need help and i need it now' is really important and i put it off for a bit.

so i just wanted to let you know a little of what's going on in my real life. and remind you that if any of you are feeling depressed or apathetic or you feel like somethings wrong but you're not sure what that you should go get help.

it's pretty simple, just go to the doctors and have a chat, they'll let you know if they think there is anything wrong.

i didn't want to go to the doctors for a while there because i thought they'd judge me, but then i realised (with the help of some friends) that it wasn't like that. their job is to help you and there is no shame in asking for help. it's actually better than holding it inside and trying to figure it out yourself.

and if you go to the doctors and it turns out that nothings wrong and you were just having a bad day then that's amazing news!

you guys are important to me. so i wanted to share this with you and tell you all i love you and that i really do care about your well being.

i know some people just say that, but i mean it.

anyway. that's where i'm at right now.

please don't ignore your feelings, depression is such a terrible thing and it's not a weakness so no one should feel like they have to hide it.

if you think you need help please go and get it, don't ignore it, it isn't something you can fix on your own no matter how strong you think you are.

please help fight depression. [link] [link] [link] [link]
