For the past 12 years I've suffered different levels of depression, in the beginning it was mild and mostly i just made excuses for how i was feeling like oh i must be tired or I'm run down I never really took it seriously and i guess Looking back I never understood depression very well it was not something i had any experience with.
it wasn't till a few years later it had become worse and I started having thoughts of not wanting to live anymore at this point i asked for help from a health professional I started to work on myself and managed my mental health so much better that before 9 year after my first real plan to take my own life I still have days when I dont want to live but they dont come round nearly as often and i know how to cope better than in the past because i asked for help.
I just want to share my situation and put in the world that im doing okay.
