All this years I had (have) depression... grow up with a depressed mom (found out not to long ago that she's also bipolar) and honestly after all therapy and talk about and even try the suicide, I never know what actually is the feeling...
So let me tell you about my attempt to suicide... first question I heard... "what were you thinking when you did that?" well, my honest answer is... I wasn't thinking... you get in a stage that nothing matters, you don't think... you don't feel... you just believe that you are tired... tired of people, tired of this world... second question... "It was because of your boyfriend?"... people!!! If someone try to kill themself because of a boyfriend... is not depression... is stupidity!!! and the most question asked... "why didn't you ask for help?"... ok this one is tricky... really!! So let me explain... I took 2 boxes of xanax... how do you think I got that medicine?? So yes! I did ask for help... and the answer I got was "take this pills, will help you!"... so yes, at the time I asked for help... I just needed someone to listen to me... not pills... even after the "incident" once I saw the psychiatrist his solution was "I'm gonna prescribe you some anti-depressants to help you out"... of course my answer was "give me stronger ones this time, so I can actually accomplish what I start...
Ok, so before you criticize my words, no I did not regret when I did it... It was a life experience... it actually helped me see with different eyes...
And I used to say I HAD DEPRESSION... but now I start thinking... I'm never immune from that depression... well, yes I have moments of sadness, moments that I wish to go away... but today I have my kids, I have love, I have more that I asked for... even if I don't have all I have what makes me get up every single morning and try to have a good day... Goals??? Yes, I have a lot!!! But one step at the time...
So before treat a depression wrong and miscall it, depression is not just being sad... is more than that... is a moment of giving up... and my friends... no! I'm not giving up!
