There’s not a competition to decide who is allowed to be depressed. It happens to some of the wealthiest, most outgoing, and seemingly happiest people alive. It’s not something you can simply “suck up” and move on from. Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know what they are talking about. The most important thing is having someone reliable to talk to when you’re feeling down, whether it’s a friend, a therapist, or a family member. Since you are somewhat newly diagnosed, I suggest trying to locate a group therapy near you. Online is good, but I think doing it in person can be more beneficial. Sometimes, just being around people who are experiencing the same things as you makes it a little easier.
I wish you luck:)
