Mental health is a tricky thing. For years, I’ve often felt a sense of helplessness and hopelessness. I’ve been in therapy for about a year or so now, and this week saw a psychiatrist and got a prescription to help deal with the depression and anxiety I’ve been feeling since I was young.

My anxiety and depression are always gonna be there, but I think I’m well on my way to being able to manage it. I believe it’s important to talk about these sorts of things, to reduce the stigma attached to mental health issues.
