In March 2013 I was diagnosed with Chronic Depression. Since then, I have taken a break from school, found a therapist, and have been attending bi-weekly meetings. Thanks to my psychologist, the efforts I have made on my own initiative, and a particular theory of emotional development, I can confidently say that I have released more than 90% of the negative emotions I had bottled in myself for 20 years.
I learned that when you are in the most deepest depths of depression, the thing you should absolutely do is reveal to someone precisely that which you are most afraid to reveal.
I was deathly afraid to admit I had lost control of myself. That I could not help myself. Realizing this, I told several of my friends through a mass text message. Revealing what I feared to reveal eventually lead me to a counselor, which lead me to a therapist, which lead me to discover my true fears, insecurities and causes. It lead me to finally confront my parents about the effects they had on me, and it lead me to realize and confront how I had unknowingly hurt myself.
If you would like to know more about the theory of emotional development that was so significant in helping me, send me a message.
