I'm living with depression for almost 10 years and on days like today, even with all the tools that I have (therapy, medication, a good partner) is so hard to deal with these feelings... The ups and downs make me feel that I always lost myself in the middle of them, even with so many years of living like this. It's exhausting. TBH, I'm trying to understand who I am apart from my diagnosis and it's so hard. I also don't see myself represented in media, in daily life, on social media... This makes me feel even more lonely in my journey. I need to feel connected with people, but who are my people? Where do I belong? In the end, I'm trying to hold myself to my self-love, even if it's a work in progress.
