I did a thing today. In this bag lies hope and, possibly, a tiny amount of relief. I have officially begun treatment for my depression. This year has had too many ups and downs and stresses and I've had trouble coping with the new demands and experiences. This Christmas season has been hard for everyone, but I know it's been especially hard on those fighting mental illnesses. For me, I have been feeling a tremendous weight on my chest and I can feel it getting larger and heavier. I'm afraid it's going to culminate in a terrifying explosion. So, after two weeks of high anxiety and crying bouts and extreme irritability I asked for help. It wasn't as hard as trying to deal with everything and failing utterly. Tonight I begin taking a low dose of Prozac. I am going to walk out of 2020 and leave as much pain in the past as I can. I will walk into 2021 with hope in my heart and a plan for getting better. If you are struggling talk to me. I've been with you this whole time, fighting for purchase and footing. I will share whatever debris I am holding onto so you can keep your head above water too. Together is the only way we will survive. Cheers, friends. ❤ Jesi #Depression #MentalIllness #GettingHelp #Surviving https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcnMRGFRAr/?igshid=9vi7awjvarby
