Battling with Depression: Journal Entry 1

It's been a while since I write in this blog. I am giving myself a favor and try to lift myself up from all the downs I have. How life has been lately? Well. 

1. I sought help for my mental health and I was clinically diagnosed with Depression. 
2. I was prescribed to take an antidepressants for a month, to be followed by observation. 

Antidepressants really helped me a lot with my moods most of the time. But there are moments that I have breakdowns but it was only about 3 or 4 times on that month. December 04 when I stopped taking antidepressants and my anxiety hit me. I had multiple breakdowns and I was thinking if did I depend on my antidepressants too much that when I stopped taking it, I have consecutive breakdowns. 

1. Feeling sad without any reasons why.
2. Cried without any reasons why. 
3. Insecurities taking a toll on me. 
4. Emptiness and tiredness 
5. Thoughts of Self harm 

These things hit me. From December 04 up until now. Felt that 3 days straight already. I am planning to see my doctor tomorrow. Finals week but I have not been reviewing since I feel really tired and unmotivated with everything. 

I am trying to get things fall unto their places. I am thankful I am still in the right mind to assess everything that is happening. My assessment about my steps on how I fight this is: 

1. Opening up to people whom I think can be a good support system. 
2. The moment I think of harming myself, I sent a text message to my bestfriend. 
3. Distracted myself by doing chores. 
4. Emotional Disclosure by Journaling (finally write this entry) 

I hope to have a talk with my doctor tomorrow. 


Keep fighting, self!
