[Bamboozle]

Just been thinking.

One of the hardest things about dealing with depression is learning to be patient.

As much as I thought I've been waiting to get better over the last few months...I really haven't been waiting.


…all the waiting I did was when I wasn’t getting help.


It’s slow going. Success can’t be measured by days passed or by any kind of recognizable milestone. Success is putting effort into managing depression no matter what.

Change is happening for me because of my effort, determination and patience.


I have no timeline in place. I can’t say that I’ll be okay in a year. I don’t know and it doesn’t matter. All I have to worry about is taking care of myself right now.


I am doing better and I know that how I was 6 months ago doesn’t have to be that way for me ever. I will not accept being in that state of mind.

I have a choice. I can’t make the depression go away, but I don’t have to let it run my life…and it won’t.
