10 years. It's taken me 10 years of blood tests, referrals, appointments and telling the doctors something's not right. I finally got a diagnosis. The doctors liked to use my anxiety and depression as an explanation but MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES DON'T MEAN IM EXAGGERATING
@depressionnote#WorstPartOfDepression is being looked at as lazy, miserable, or selfish when things are just too hard. I don't want to be like this, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
@depressionnote#TheySaid "You're just a bit stressed"
"[My name]'s a bit stressed" - while talking to a teacher about why I had a panic attack.
"Well I'm depressed too, but you just have to get on with it"
"It'll all work out"
Racism confuses me. How can you be so warped to treat another human this way, because you think your skin somehow makes you superior. Educate yourselves or stay out of the fight #BlackLivesMatter
Any time. Just let me know what you need. Send a 30 page rant just to get it off your chest, or I can offer advice and support. I have the emotional capacity at the moment to help if I can.
