Hi, this is my first time posting to this forum. I am 21 and have endured a brain injury and psychosis. I've had to take medication, which has put me in a depressive state (slurred words, ability to function, etc). Luckily, I'm working with doctors and psychiatrists to get out of this hole that I'm currently in.
Right now, I'm working hard to stay active. I like to do activities such as play golf and swim. This type of activity is not as heavily intensive, though I want to build myself up so that I feel 100% confident when doing these activities.
Having depressive thoughts is like drowning. I feel like not enough people have an understanding of what it's like to have mental health issues and that sucks. That's the reality of the situation and the only thing that you can really do is move forward and try to stay positive, but be realistic at the same time, which is quite difficult to do.
In my opinion, people with mental health issues require people with a deep logical understanding, emotional feeling and honest characteristics. Having people around you with these characteristics helps a lot.
