I’m on meds for bipolar disorder and borderline personality. I don’t get paranoid or manic like before, but I feel it numbs my emotions. Lately I’ve been really depressed and feeling burnt out and trying to figure out the next step. I also have issues with memory and concentration that impacts me when I’m trying to learn things Sorry to hear this butterflies. I too suffer from depression and at times, I just think it's life. I genuinely struggle with life, everyday things that others seem to find easy. I seem to carry a certain sadness inside me or a heaviness, that is inexplicable. There doesn't appear to be any reason for it or any particular trigger. I had it when I was a teenager but it went away. And then it came back again after MJ died and it's never really gone. I'm not relating it to his passing, I just think that was a traumatic event that triggered something that was already existing inside me. I've learnt to live with it pretty well throughout my thirties and even though it's something that never really goes away, it is much less all-encompassing than it was in my twenties (largely thanks to medication numbing my emotions). I love this quote from Morrissey about depression: “I refer to it as the 'black dog'. It doesn't go away. It's usually the very first thing when you wake up, there is no cure, but to be honest, I think it's just a part of being a sensitive, open human." Always here for ya kiddo.

as someone who is sensitive. 😄😄😄 i don't think having depression or anxiety makes a person weak or anything. you got people who are very bold and still have depression and anxiety so that statement is a myth.
depression and anxiety are mood disorders.
now some people do overcome depression and anxiety and some people live with it for the rest of their lives.
i hope one day mines actually goes away. but i actually won't be surprise if it doesn't to the fact i had it my whole life and what i mean my whole life i mean me getting out of diapers basically.....
i been doing great with therapy so i don't know what the future holds. as long i have the right support etc i'm okay.
