It needs to be talked about because so many people struggle with it. But to me it seems that today's society frowns upon depression. They don't want to acknowledge it. They don't want to let people know that they are struggling with depression. They feel that if they tell people that that is how they are feeling they will be thought of as less. Less than they already thought of themselves as.
Some days, typically my better days, I find it way easier to talk about my depression. Sometimes with those I am close with, other times with almost anyone. Some people understand. Some people don't. And that is okay.
Sometimes life flips upside down for us. Mine seems to have been flipping upside down a lot lately. I am not sure why. I guess I had been happy long enough and it was just time to be down again. I was having an almost 2 month long happy phase. I enjoyed every moment of it. I never really know when I will be happy or when I will be sad, so I just try to keep my head up and keep moving forward.
Some of my friends can vogue for this, I have been in kind of a funk lately. I have certain people that I can turn to no matter what and they will be there for me. I am forever grateful for those people. Sometimes strangers brighten my day.
Yesterday, I was having a particularly rough day. I sat in my car and cried for a while in between school and work. One of my best friends came and sat with me. I posted about being upset on twitter and someone messaged me and ended up surprising me with a stuffed puppy-dog and a Starbucks gift card. It was just what I needed. A little pick me up.
This blog is how I get most of my ranting out. Just getting my thoughts out of my head and onto something makes me feel better.
I am still in high school, working a part time job, with some health issues, and living basically on my own. I have had some people try pushing me to drop out of high school.
Alright I got most of my thoughts for the night out, until next time blogger friends.
