I’m B. I have suffered from depression for about a decade. Mood disorder has also made its way into my diagnosis. Some people can pinpoint where their current state of mental health comes from and some cant. I have a general idea about mine. For much of my childhood, I was abused. I can’t really recall too many purely happy memories. I am not saying that childhood abuse = mood disorder. But it sure as hell contributes to it in my case. I am sure the genes for having poor mental health were always there in the background but the abuse seemed to be the starting point for my depression..obviously.
A long with my psychiatrist attempting to treat me with medication, I will also be seeing a therapist. It is very hard for me to talk to anyone about my past. I know there is patient-doctor privacy but it still just irks me a little. Talking about my emotions in general freaks me out a bit too. This blog will hopefully be a way for me to do that comfortably seeing as how it’s not so direct. I can’t see you, you can’t see me, and any negative commenters don’t actually affect my real life. So there. Everyone wins.
