Better late than sorry
Nice to meet you all! I hope we can manage to better ourselves little by little.
I'm 30 years old and on a stable relationship with the most outstanding person in the universe. I have a job that pays slightly higher than the minimum wage,I have a pet,a house...and yet...
I find myself exceedingly drained both mentally and physically all the time although my job ain't taxing. My partner is supportive and yet I find myself upset over tribal things,being unfair with them against my will. In short,I suspect I'm depressed. Probably since a long time ago,I recall going to a psychologist when I was around 12 or 15 years old. Same story as many, bullying victim mixed with an academic career taking a dive. I sustained I didn't want to go back to school anymore,but of course that wasn't a choice. I landed my career of choice,yet I'm undervalued if valued at all at my workplace. As hardships have come and gone from point A to B I genuinely believed I was becoming "stronger" as mom hoped for. I now recognize however that I am completely devoid of energy or emotions. I still have feelings, I want to look after my loved ones,I want to keep a tidy house,I want to DO things on my free time. Genuinely finish a project for once. Yet as fazed, concerned,worried,scared, excited,etc. as I may feel about the matter at hand I don't find my mind following along. Any of you mixed up the process of becoming depressed as "becoming strong?"
