5 years and a bad depression. 📌

In the old days, we were people with very clear goals. Life was like a path to walk, but I didn't know when... that goal was gone.

Every day, just keeping your eyes open is like living every day, not knowing what you're doing, why you're doing it, or even for someone.

We started not wanting to go to our favorite activities, got bored with everything, and every time we got angry or stressed, we threw screams in the room, or even hurt ourselves without anyone in the house knowing.

Fortunately, studying medicine, Rate started to notice himself, knew it wasn't normal, and told him, "I want to see a doctor," but he wouldn't say, "You have to be strong."

Until the day I graduated, everything got heavier, my father was sick of cancer, and I plummeted, and I realized that my condition was worse than I ever thought, and one day I couldn't stand it anymore... we cried, beat ourselves up in front of my father and said to him,

"Dad, I really can't do it anymore."

That day was the day my dad really saw us break down, and it was the first time he shook his hand and took him to the doctor, and that... was the beginning of our treatment for depression. That still makes me stand here today.

💊🏥 How to heal!??!?

We treat at Klnik Private first, but the cost is very expensive. 1500-2000 The first treatment period every 2 weeks to adjust the medicine, psychopath, cross-hypnosis, until 4 years ago, we felt that we couldn't handle the cost, returned to the state hospital, but luckily, we do not pay for it. We take the medicine every day, adjust the medicine with the doctor. Until now, the medicine has been stable and we still have to continue to treat and hope that it will improve and heal someday.

Start doing activities, travel, guns, go to the sea, go anywhere you want to go out and do something new, more joy and life.

✌🏻🫶🏻 I want to tell everyone...

Depression is not scary.

The really scary thing is our hearts.

Are we brave enough to admit, "We can't do it anymore."

Are we brave enough to step out for help?

Because of depression... can be treated

But if we don't dare to open up, no one can help us.

And if you're in a spot like I was 5 years ago,

Remember, you're not weak if you ask for help.

Because everyone deserves a chance to come back and smile again. 🫶🏻
