How do you guys fight depression?

in #depression7 years ago (edited)

I grew up with not a perfect life.

My Dad and Mom divorced when I was like 1 years old.

My Mom took my twin brother and I to Michigan from Alabama when I was like two years old.

My twin brother had bad things happen to him in this process when we were like two years old, which has effected his mentality in the long run.

I'm trying my best to keep us all together and do things right, it puts a strain on me knowing things I don't want to know.

My Mom was diagnosed with manic depression..and boy does she have her days. I love her though which is all that matters to me.

I think I have formed a depression because of this, which I'm aware of, and try my best to get over.

Sometimes I turn to drinking or smoking weed to get over my messed up life...I try my best to stay away from that stuff though. It blankets my racing thoughts tbh.

Im trying folks. I like to think "God" helps me in the long run.

I cannot quote a universal cure for depression. But you seem an able creator: not only you present your story but you paint it well, and writing needs skill. Story telling gets deep and you seem talented there as well.

For now you can stick to writing: you can always get depressed later, if that's what you really want.

You're good peoples man. God is watching out for you. Be thankful you're aware. Serve who and what you can and love yourself . We're all gonna make it

Grow your soul man, with god or not. It's the only think that can keep you away from those conditions :)

Im trying. Im helping my Father throughout his older years right now, doing what I think a Son should do.
