You will see brighter days.

DragonsRKool July 1st

Im only 21, im 7+ years into my depression, self harm journey. I have CPTSD and am disabled. I've recently in the past year started falling in love with life again. It's been a struggle for sure. Its so hard to not care about anything, not even yourself. But to slowly open up again is beautiful. I don't just lay in bed all day, I'm showering, I'm brushing my teeth, I'm doing things I genuinely enjoy like watching anime, playing videogames, painting, drawing, reading, etc. I had forgotten there was so much to love about life. Smile more. If you're reading this make sure you go to a doctor if you can and get some help. You will see brighter days

That's sweet to hear that life has been more colourful for you lately. What would you say changed for you suddenly after dealing with 7+ years of depression? I can relate to the CPTSD, depression for over a couple decades, and the disabilities...For me, depression is like a moon -- it waxes and wanes. Some days are worse than others to manage, and other days are a lot more bearable --while occasionally being more "colourful" than in my usually dull, monochrome world. Hope your world continues to be vibrant and full of life and wonder. ✨
