Hi,
Potato has nothing do with this, just an example of how I usually take something that affects me and attempt humor.
I don't know where to start. I think I've been suffering from depression since childhood, except I had no idea what it was till a few things hit me all at once. When I got to my teen years, my health suffered. I managed to get quite a bad chest infection, combine that with a life of asthma and it's slightly worse. Then shortly after that a skin infection (the infection comes and goes as it pleases). Skipping a few things, (only because I can't think of their names right now). The biggest two contributions to my depression is the person who decided to cyber bully me in high school over 5 years ago. Never found out a name, which kind of left it brewing. An attack through a very popular site that anyone around the world could have seen. It doesn't faze me too much anymore though I still wish for a name. ( I know I'll never get that).
The other contribution is my chronic headache. That more than anything I want a name to, well maybe a cure. Now my chronic headache has been going for about 5-6 years strong, 24/7 7 days a week and not faltering once. This has been quite a hindrance to my life. Constant pain: Can't think too easily, can't absorb information, zone out often and I don't realize, I forget things (possibly because of the things I just wrote), I have suddenly found myself out and about (when seconds previous I was at home), can't get my licence because the previous things don't go well with me behind the wheel, can't get a job (I'd have to have a boss who was extremely understanding. Though with all that going on, why get a job). The person I'm supposed to be able to rely on is my mum. All siblings moved out, just me. She can't see it, so it's not there. She even said as much once. I understand its harder for those who can't see or think what it might be like. But the support I'm supposed to be getting from her I'm not. Damn sure she has depression too, though she loves her mask and is very much in denial about it.
I've always questioned if I even own a brain, I guess this rant is some evidence something is there. There's more to say but my brain has used up it's energy writing this. That and I'm nearly out of characters.
