I’ve been helping my aunt and uncle now for a couple of days. My uncle recently had open heart surgery so I’ve been the one to step in to take care of their 2 kids so my aunt is able to go back to work. Honsetly I was very nervous with my depression. Even tho I don’t feel like I’m dealing with it, still. I feel like the structure of having a schedule helps keep my depression at bay. I know I still have to address my depression so it doesn’t hit me out of no where. I guess I’m just tryna figure things out Day by day. Helping others just gives love to my heart and I know I have to help myself first but rn I feel like, for once, helping is actually healing to me rn and I couldn’t be more thankful. I’m so glad I joined this group. Not only for all the support but just to have a place to type all of my feelings and it not just be on a paper to be thrown away, but for ppl to actually see my emotions and validate how I feel. Even tho I know I shouldn’t need validation to be happy. But it does help me to know I’m making the right decisions

Oct 21, 2017I love all of the support I’m receiving. You guys don’t realize how much I appreciate this. I don’t open up to people which is a flaw but being able to just come here and let everything out and feel heard. It puts so much love and light in my heart
