I hate it when people say they have recovered from depression. I mean Iâm happy, good for them, but the wording bothers me. It makes it sound like they are getting over a cold. âI took some medicine, spent a few days in bed, and it cleared right up!â
That doesnât happen for most people. Youâll be getting better and then backslide. Youâll have to tweak your meds a few times, or try different ones altogether. Youâll have good days, and then have days why you wonder why you even bother trying. Itâs not a linear process.Â
Donât be discouraged if you arenât âgetting over itâ like other people. Youâll heal at your own pace. It may not feel like it, but it is still progress.Â
