Maybe I’m depressed, I don’t know. I feel so disconnected when everyone else has a wife and a beautiful family and a passion they’re chasing, and my only accomplishment ever was leaving my mom’s house.
My new medication has been wonderful, I haven’t had any embarrassing meltdowns in a couple of weeks. I hoped my friends would be happy for me, but they all hit real milestones the same week, so it got swept aside pretty fast.
Something I do when I’m depressed is discount the value of my own accomplishments. When I’m not in those moments, I know that I should be kinder to myself by being proud of what gets accomplished in spite of the depression, but when those times come around again it’s incredibly difficult to follow that advice. I’m really happy that you’re making such strides on the new meds, and hope that you find the space to be happy and proud of that accomplishment. Other people’s milestones don’t detract from the progress you’re making 💕
