so I'm having some symptoms still while I've successfully reached remission a year ago. I get tired, I'm unmotivated, I blame it on my fatigue, but I'm suspect that its actually my depression symptoms left. I spend seriously weeks at a time alone, even in my last relationship that was 2 years of abuse, I was alone, now it's been 8 months living alone, I reach out to people to come do stuff with me, but I just dont have anyone in town that is close with me anymore. I always say, "oh I'm in a flare I can't get out of bed" but i really think it's my depression, I'm taking multiple medications, my travel is unpredictable since I'm sharing a car with my mom, so I'm not comfortable with going back to therapy. not trying to have a Pity party, these are the facts, and I'm trying to say them factually, which, my "friends" in town also dont understand. like if say something, I say it factually, because like that's just life, I'm not looking for advice or anything and most people (who unfortunately have moved out of state or out of town) understand that. the people here think I'm looking for attention.
I'm glad I'm not the only one, but also sad I'm not the only one. I wish there was a blood test for mental illness so I could just be like, "yup its depression" I think people with chronic illnesses should be able to easily get access to someone to talk to. people in general should, but america, but some things I cant even talk to my family about, my mom just starts crying, and my dad tells me to pray more, like, sometimes I just want to vent and not make people feel uncomfortable with things that are part of my reality. I've started journaling, it's kinda tedious right now, but kinda helpful.
I have two papillons, one is actually ready to pop in the next week with babies, so that will keep me busy, but after 12 weeks, I'm so down to look for stuff to do. maybe I'm jumping the gun now, since I have puppies on the way, but I seriously need human contact
