What do you do when you’re already experiencing depression and then go through a traumatic event?
I lost someone in my family at the hands of another family member.
I was already depressed before it happened three months ago and now I’ve been depressed for 7 months straight.
It’s been really hard for me to do just basic self care like showering regularly. I know that’s gross but I hope people here understand how tough it gets when you’re dealing with depression.
I do have a therapist but I haven’t seen her for a couple of months because I’m out of state visiting my long distance partner currently.
Even with the change of environment and support from my partner I’m still really struggling.
Any and all advice or kind words are appreciated. Thank you all <3
