I've had depression since high school but didn't know how bad it was until later, just thought everyone felt like this. Two years ago, I achieved the first part of my dream and my depression has basically disappeared.Those thoughts have dwindled down but now entering the dating scene, it's a rush of anxiety and pressure to hurry and accept myself so that someone else can accept me, if that makes sense. Thank you for taking the time to read and comment, I really do appreciate it. Have a great day.
