It is back [I Battle Depression]

This is the worst it's been in a very long time
I can't remember the last time it was this bad
I know the trigger
Now to dig myself out of the black hole that has swallowed me up

Went through something similar over the summer. The worst it's been in 10-ish years, by far. If you aren't seeing a therapist or at least talking to someone you trust about this, I can't recommend it enough. Even if it's awkward and embarrassing sometimes.

@BigAssLeech I think I just need to try to distract myself more with good and positive things

@SW-User That's a good start. Unfortunately though depression isn't cured by distractions alone, even if they temporarily numb the pain. The chemical weirdness is still going on in your brain, and a good therapist along with antidepressants (those aren't always necessary, but I don't think I personally could function without them) are what's really going to give you long term results.

But it's scary to search for those things, and it can be expensive, so it's not always accessible. And that's not okay, but that's not going to change overnight. So, for now, find what pleases you and gives you the most serotonin possible (as long as it's healthy) and run with it. You're doing great. 😊
