Member-only story
This is my personal experience with depression. Having depression daily is like trying to get out of bed, and not wanting to get up because you’re so exhausted. When I mean exhausted, I’m not talking about exhausted from work. It’s like waking up exhausted, not wanting to do anything. This makes things such as cooking, showering, and other things a mission to do. Even though I do my best to go to the gym to help out with my depression, sometimes it’s not enough. It’s worse when you’re depressed, and you know you have to go workout, but you don’t want to because it’s taking every ounce of energy to get up.
Have I contemplated suicide before? Yes, many times in the past. It’s insane on how creative the brain can get when a person wants to end it. The only thing that is preventing me from doing it? I have people that are counting on me. Some days I can get through the day without too much issue. Other days I feel like I can’t get up at all, and it takes me forever to get my day started. It’s frustrating at times.
I’m going to end this here on a short note. This isn’t to feel bad for me, but rather something that was on the top of my head. May update this later when I have the energy to do it. Also, I may or may not end up writing something for Saturday. I know I said i would write everyday, but I think i need a small break.
