Hello
I was diagnosed with moderate depression in January 2019 and struggling to access therapy on the NHS.
I am embrassed about my diagnosis.
I never had a hard life. I am a black female
Everyone in my family have more serious problems and out of all of them i get it .
African parents donf recognise depression so talking to my family is not an option.
My famiky think only white people have depression and this does not exist in african nations.
My family laugh at people with mental illnesss.
I hate being a black woman with depression its so embrassing. I wish i was a white woman with depression becsuse a least depression is recognised in the white community
My family have suppprted me and i end up with this diagnois.
One of my friends who are black . Told me my condition is not real.
On the outside people see me as intelligent and pretty but i dont.
Currently i am fine but my depression will come back as i have not had treatment
My depression came out of nowhere. I woke up one morning on my 21st birthday feeling like my life was one big failure and these feelings dragged on for months . As the months went on these feelings got worse. I would brrak down crying and i lost all my confidence.
How do you deal with depression if not got a hard life?
Can you be successful with depression like have a career?
Have you ever had depression which appeared out of nowhere.
What exactly is moderate depression?
I am so alone . I am dealing with this on my own because telling my family will make it a million times worse.
