Living Life On The Edge: The Downward Spiral
Hey all, I've decided to do some posts for the blog but with large intervals between them. So they won't be regular, especially with me starting my apprenticeship on Monday. But yeah I shall be updating the blog but not very often. I felt like I should share this with you all today.
Diagnosis Depression
As you all know I have High Anxiety and OCD. Well today i spoke to my therapist about being down and dejected all the time and it turns out that I now have Depression too. This left me feeling depressed but I was pretty sure I had it anyway.
But he is a wizard and knows what to do! He has given me some things to do when these negative thoughts hit. I'm gonna ask a favour from you all now.
Favour: When I'm experiencing a down period, I'd seriously appreciate it if you could give me some encouragement to snap out of it! To do this I need you all to reinforce the fact that I'm not worse than others and that I am able to do things that everyone else is able to. Things like that. Then hopefully I should begin to become happier again. If you don't want to do that, then no worries but I'd greatly appreciate it if you did! I will return the favour to you (of something of your choice) if you do choose to help out Thankyou!
But this now means that I have another hurdle in life to overcome and I feel determined to do this! My therapist and of course all of you guys have supported me so so much through all of this and I can't thankyou enough for all of the help and support you have provided to me! I genuinely wouldn't have made any improvements if it wasn't for you guys and gals! So Thankyou so much!
But yes I now have Depression, so these down periods are now explainable. I shall do my very best to overcome this along with my other issues and hopefully lead a happy life! I am still going to the NHS group sessions (even though they've been no use to me) and the last one is on Wednesday. Then I should be able to arrange to see someone one on one and then begin having more therapy to overcome these damn illnesses!
Once again, any questions I shall answer
And Thank y'all for reading!
Hope you're all well!
Bye for now!
