That time I learned I could swim...
I’ve always had this darkness inside though that I never understood until I got into college and took a psychology class. Depression… It has been my shadow all of these years, attached to me without me even realizing, following me everywhere I went, slowly draining my life force. Self-diagnosing isn’t exactly an efficient way of solving the puzzle. I saw professionals, took series of tests, surveys, physicals, etc. Severe depression/anxiety. I didn’t know what that meant… I am slowly realizing what it means, that with all of this, slowly discovering triggers and figuring out why I have self-esteem that is lower than dirt. I feel like the only reason I haven’t imploded is because I have been floating on my back in the ocean staring into a blue sky when this whole time, I was blind to the fact that I am broken, and once my eyes opened... I started to drown… and I don’t know how to swim.
