WHY?!
Discuss 😊.
Seriously, though, do you ever wonder why you went through what you went through? Because I don't get it.
I'm going to have to do a mountain of work, just to be where I was... where I probably should have been, if life was even remotely fair.
What am I even working towards? Overcoming Depression is miraculous all, but most people don't have to fight so hard for their health.
I shouldn't have to. I got Depression from being bullied in childhood for nine years. My earliest memory is being bullied in Kindergarten. I SHOULD have had an easier childhood, or at least a childhood that didn't vaporise my soul... and if I did, I would probably be in a completely different place.
Fighting mental illness and trying your best to improve your life is worth celebrating... I just wish I could take some things for granted. Selfish or not, it's real.
