The Depression Diaries: Introduction (I)

Hi. I’ve never done anything like this before, and I don’t really know what to expect. I love to write, and someone once told me I should start to use that as a coping mechanism, and I guess today is the day I start that journey.

I almost can’t remember what it was like to be carefree. Those days as a child where I had no responsibilities and didn’t have even the slightest hint of stress about the real world I would soon be exposed to.

I have been living with depression and anxiety for many years now. I am no doctor, I am no expert. I am a teenager who loves to write and wants to share their experiences with the world. In writing these blog posts, I hope to one day find that spark I once had. One that gave me a reason to get out of bed every day and continue with day to day life. And I hope that you, my audience, whether big or small, can support me with this mission, and maybe even see that what you are feeling is completely okay. That I can provide you with a place and a person who makes you feel welcome, and can maybe even give you a way to put what you are feeling into words.

I do not expect much… really anything from my audience. I just ask that you join me for my journey through the emotional rollercoaster of life, and I wish you all the best in your own journeys too.

Love, Pixie
