#i was always told to just suck it up and try harder

Had an extremely eventful day: had a phone appointment with psychiatrist (finally!), was given a prescription for medication to manage my raging depression (at last!), made follow up appointment, and filled prescription with minimal event. While I was making the follow-up appointment, I inquired about their ADHD screening/diagnostic services and they put me down for the earliest appointment, in December. I don’t even mind. I’m just happy to finally be doing something about this.

I don’t know what other issues (if any?) may be lurking under the cloak of dark that is depression, but I’ve fought with this my entire life. I desperately want to know who I am without it, and hope that this medication can finally help me begin managing it!
