My relationship with depression
My story
I went through depression at a very young I think 16-year-old and I'm 26 now so its 10 years since I had depression. It was very hard I was sad I also use to drink four lokos back then when it had all this bad ingredients that weren’t good for you. Because of it I end in the hospital couple of times because I was having hard time breathing which I didn’t know till later own that I was have anxiety and panic attacks and on top of that I was depressed. I had these symptoms
Sadness
Anger
Loss of appetite
Slept all the time
Didn’t talk to anyone
And had suicidal though
The reason I felt this was because I wasn’t doing the best in high school, I felt like I couldn’t amount to anything as much as I tried. The way I came out of it was when I men up and told the doctor to refer me to get help and I did it without any medication just will power and the support of my family. From this experience I learn everyday to be better and I'm always willing to help anyone going through something like that because not only have I gone through it but I see things in a very different way then most people probably do
