Who is lonely girl?
I am a 23 year old who has battled with depression and anxiety since age 13. I would describe myself as an earthy, artist, type A-ish person. I have struggled with my health for as long as I can remember, dealing with epilepsy as a kid and severe migraines to this day. I always thought that was the cause of my depression. Now, years later I realize it isn’t specifically my health but rather my feeling of losing control. When I felt like I was losing control of my body or life my depression kicked in. This happened when I changed my daily medication that I had been on for years, graduating from high school, and the process of graduating from college. Do you sense a pattern? I do! Now, I believe part of this is due to genetics, because there is a strong history of depression in my family, but that is not going to stop me! I am determined to kick my depression for good, and although I expect for it to creep back into my life from time to time, I will know how to deal with it before it gets worse. So…my own written journey begins with minimal whining and as much inspiration & positivity as possible through this rough time.
