Am I still depressed? Or recovering from depression?

I understand eve is not a therapist filled place, but I still wanted to question a little. It’s been a year since I felt my years of depression had greatly minimized, yet when I read literature or any type of art(music, symbolic, etc) I get sad and I remember just how horrible and lost I felt.

I was listening to an upbeat song and when I actually paid attention to the lyrics, I realized she was singing about depression and I started to cry. I still understand what it’s like to not know yourself, understand other people, or feel useless in the midst of everything in the world.

Does this mean anything about my depression? I don’t know, but I just hope I can fully recover sometime soon, and not have to ever relate to those emotions on the same level ever again.

If you suffer from depression or any similar conditions, I sincerely send my best wishes and love to you. You aren’t alone, as cliche as that sounds, and you are worthy of love. It just takes time to understand yourself and life. Get out there, try a sport or join a team of people to interact with. Trying new things inspires new insight on life.

Sending love to whomever needs it<3
