I just turned 37 and I have been struggling with different types of depressive disorders for years. Sometimes it feels like I’m drowning in a sea of sadness and hopelessness. It’s been a tough road, but I refuse to give up. I’ve tried therapy, medication, and self-help techniques, but it’s still a constant battle. I just want to connect with others who understand what I’m going through. I want to break the stigma and let others know they are not alone in this struggle. Let’s support each other and share our coping mechanisms. We are all in this together, and together we can find ways to navigate through these challenges.
