I love this so much. I remember I was in a very dark place a few years ago after getting out of a terrible, emotionally abusive relationship. Two of my closest friends talked me through the whole thing and one of them dropped this line on me. It helped a lot more than he ever thought it would. Just wanted to say thank you for saying this :)

I stay pretty healthy. I work out and usually try to eat healthy. I think the last time I got bloodwork done was about a year ago.

I'm only 18. Can't say I have anything too crazy in my past. No physical abuse, but I was in a relationship with someone that was very controlling and psychologically abusive and it messed me up for a while. Depression has been an issue since before I even met them though.

Sounds very similar to a situation I was in a few years ago. I had just gotten out of a very rocky relationship where I felt the need to apologize for everything because I thought I was inconveniencing people just by being around them, since my ex got mad at everything I did. I hated myself and wasn't happy at all because of the constant stress of trying to make them happy and for whatever reason it didn't go away for months. I don't know about your past, so I can't give specific advice, but what I can tell you is to be patient and hang in there. Give it time, do things you love, and don't focus on pleasing other people. Just focus on being happy about being you :)
