I can’t ever seem to get ‘over’ my major depressive disorder. Every day, in every way I’m hurting. Meds? ✅ Therapy? ✅ I’ve done a lot mental health wise to help myself…but…if I’m being honest, I’m just waiting for my parents to pass before I do myself in.

Surround yourself with people that love you. What I did was find a man that loved every part of me, even the cray cray parts. That made me happier. Also, take care of your body. That looks different for everyone, but seriously do not underestimate the power of great food and great sex. It helps a LOT.

I know it’s not a cure by any means, but I’ve personally found meditation to be incredibly helpful for my mental health (MDD, GAD, & ADHD). I’ve been doing guided meditations for several years now and have noticed significant improvements (along with meds and therapy). Highly recommended the “Insight Timer” app. It’s one of the few apps that you don’t need to pay to use.

Oh I know I am. I know also society and people told me not to get in a relationship to seek happiness. They were wrong, and I have never been happier. Before I met him though, I fucked around a lot and pretend to be a part of many extracurriculars to get free food lol.

I know it doesn’t sound like much, but meditating consistently has been a huge support. It might take some time for it to start making a noticeable difference but it works. I also recommend trying yoga. I just follow videos on YouTube.

not many people can just “find” people who love them, some of us have been hopelessly trying for decades to no avail lol, glad you’re happy though
