Even at times when I feel good and healthy, I\u2019m still always at risk of relapse. So far, I\u2019ve experienced relapses every couple of years and one of the many reasons that happened is that I didn\u2019t take my depression seriously enough. No one likes being mentally ill, so once depression doesn\u2019t feel too present, I tend to ignore it. I quickly put myself under a lot of pressure, because everyone else does too, and since my depression isn\u2019t acting up in that particular moment, I don\u2019t feel like I have an excuse to take things easy. I feel like a liar and very disrespectful of other people\u2019s hard work, so I push myself all the time to keep up with everyone. I don\u2019t want to cause trouble because of something no one can see.<br \/>While every single time seems still manageable to me, those situations keep stacking, until I can\u2019t deal with the amount of stress anymore. Then I fall apart.<br \/>This is a reminder to me and everyone else who\u2019s in a similar situation: by accepting your depression and keeping it in mind, you\u2019ll be able to live a healthier life in the long run. It\u2019s difficult to miss out on certain things or to say \u201cno\u201d to friends because of something that isn\u2019t an immediate problem. But every time you decide to take care of your needs, you will keep depression away a bit longer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>petitpotato: Something that I\u2019ve learnt from my many years of struggling with depression is that it\u2019s never really gone.
