“Now someone like me might score between 0-5 on a test like this, someone who’s going through a mild depressive episode could expect to see a score of 15 or 16, you have a score of 78”. I’m glad to say I’m no longer at a 78 and now down to a 6. Now even though this photo is a headshot and looks completely staged I actually am genuinely happy here. I was at an all time low before I got help for my depression and now I can confidently say that I’m doing so much better than I was back then. The road to recovery was hard and I had to make a lot of tough calls but ultimately I was able to heal. Now the reason I’m sharing this is not for praise or sympathy but to hopefully help those who suffer silently. I suffered silently for so long because I didn’t think I had any other choice and thought that was just my lot in life, but I was wrong, you can get help, and things can get better, so if you’re struggling with your Mental Health do yourself a favor and get help, it will be the best decision you could make, trust me, cause things can get better and they will, eventually. I just want to thank all my friends and family who have supported me during this time, I know I may not always show it but I really do appreciate the support. Depression sucks, but it can be managed and you can be happy, because we deserve to be happy. We deserve to live.
