Reaching for More
I was 17 years old and desperately depressed and wracked with anxiety. It’s a way I remembered feeling as far back as three years old when my mother put me down for a nap and was too full of anxiety to sleep. I would play with my toys as soon as she walked out of the room. As a teenager, the depression and anxiety born out of my uncle’s sexual abuse of me became darker, scarier, and all-encompassing.

Depression and its ability to take over a young persons life.
I was one of the lucky ones, always have been, I wouldn’t call myself famous, but I would say that I was and still have a good amount of friends. Every day coming into school and just trying my best to make everyone happy. I knew I couldn't do it all, but I insisted. I had to be the best at everything. Everything. I run track, do all extracurricular activities, and try to be friends with everyone.

Do You Qualify for Disability?
Many people struggle with depression at some point in their lives. The symptoms of depression can limit their ability to work or socialize, and qualifying for disability benefits can be difficult. It is important to remember that debilitating depression is not a mental illness. The Social Security Administration has strict guidelines on what constitutes "debilitating" depression. To be eligible for disability benefits, you must have symptoms of depression that last at least two years and interfere with your ability to work. If you have been unable to work for a long time or have a limited capacity for the environment you live in, you may qualify for SSDI.

The best things I've gotten from trying psychedelic medicine
It all started last summer when I responded to an ad for ketamine for depression with clinical therapists, all guided and overseen but from the comfort of home. Better yet, it was reasonably affordable. The cost of a six-session ketamine therapy program through Mindbloom is $386 x 3 - charged to my card over the course of several months. Like I said, reasonable.

Sitting with discomfort was a lesson for 2021.
SITTING WITH DISCOMFORT WAS A LESSON FOR 2021. I've been wanting to cut my hair for over 2 months now but I haven't. I used to get this feeling... you know... the feminine urge to chop your hair off after a breakup, a big change, a move, a friendship ending etc.
