Helping others makes the years of suffering seem worth it.
It’s been a long day of seeing patients and, as I finally allow myself to relax into my seat on the packed, rush-hour train, that’s when I feel it.A weight settles in my forehead and all I can think about is getting home and crawling into bed. I begin to dread having to wake up and face the world tomorrow.depressed
I first became ill after starting university, shortly after moving into student halls. To say that I wasn’t coping in my completely new environment would be an understatement.room, it felt that my whole world had come crashing down around me, and I felt the sheer hopelessness that accompanies an episode of depression.Desperately trying to make myself feel something, I binge-drank spirits and threw up noisily, telling my new friends that I wanted to kill myself.
Since then, the depression has returned at irregular intervals. I used to be able to tell you exactly when each episode occurred and how long for, but I’ve lost count over the last couple of years.
