I Battle Depression

Not sure how to begin this honestly. Lately it feels like I'm always just two steps away from an emotional break down. It's made me think of myself as pathetic. The medication isn't working the way it use to. Before it kept me level now it's just barely keeping me above water. I've made the decision to return to therapy. Yet another thing that's made me feel about two inches tall and like a pathetic person. Yes, I know there's nothing wrong with seeking help. It's just something I've never been good at.

Life is a challenge for all of us. No matter how rich or poor, no matter our looks, or where we are. None of us chose to exist in this world. We are dealing with life as the consequence of an action our parents took, so it wasn’t even up to us. Then we didn’t choose our looks, our mind, the world, or all the world contains, we’ve just been forced to adapt through reward and punishment in the attempt of making us pleasing, productive, and harmless to those around us. It is an understandable challenge to adapt to everything. But you know what? You’ve made it this far so you are strong. Your story and your life does have an impact on those around you. And it is because of you that this world is a better place! Thank you for being alive, for being awesome, and for being so incredibly beautiful!

Antidepressants can lose their effectiveness after a period of time. For me it’s about two years. Maybe time for a med adjustment

You are not pathetic at all feelings like that can make you feel that way but it doesn't make you pathetic whatsoever
