Several medical doctors suggested it. I laughed. Me? Depressed? What do I have do I have to be depressed about?
I lacked nothing and felt blessed. I had strong faith and felt spiritually nourished. All of that was true.
No. Don’t give me antidepressants and no I don’t need to talk to anyone. If I could just sleep I could hold it all together. Give me sleep meds. Last month’s blog series is all about insomnia if you missed it my blog is here: https://deecastelli.com/blog
The thought of a diagnosis of depression or seeking professional help carried such deep shame for me. There was no way I’d admit it or seek help. If I ever did I’d never tell a soul. The best I could do was professional business counselors. Yes. That was acceptable. That got me on the right track at least. I was open to the idea of imbalances that needed adjustment.
You see, I’m a fighter. I’m resilient. For me medicating myself was not going to actually fix anything. No. If there was something to be depressed about I wanted to look the beast right in the eye and stare it down. I wanted to rise up and pray and conquer. Many days it felt like a deep pit swallowing me whole. I felt as if I’d clawed my way up a few inches and something would kick me down. I felt the dirt and stone slip under my fingers.
It didn’t need to be that hard. I did seek help. Eventually I felt comfortable looking for emotional support, emotional healing. That was easier for me to reconcile needing. It has helped. This is why I’m so passionate to help others.
