The first 2 years moving here, I was working full time and going to school full time. I had high hopes about my future and adamant that by putting in 110% effort, I’d end up seeing positive results. Day after day, I chose pushing through the trembling depression to go to work and do well in my classes. If you do well, you get well. THat’s what I thought. 2 years pass, and I figured I deserved a break over the summer, so that’s exactly what I did. It felt like stepping out of a busy building into the calming nature surrounding me. I haven’t felt silence like that in a while. The relaxation is supposed to be calming and bring joy. But if that’s the case, why do I feel more depressed than ever? It feels as if by stepping out of the busy building, I stepped into the darkness where depression was more than happy to lap up every lick of my energy. And I’m still left broke as I ever was, and without the energy to find my way back to being a functioning adult.
There’s no safety net. There’s no moving back to my parents for me.
