Some things never change. How can it be that I feel the same way I did 20 years ago when I first started writing in LJ? That's pretty depressing, on top of depressing, on top of depressing. Once, a therapist told me that I will probably just always be depressed and there's nothing I can do to stop that. Well, turns out she was right. I was pretty ( Read more... )

I seem pretty determined to stay depressed and anxious. Psychiatrists call it “treatment resistant.” I call it will power.🙄

I’ve always been pretty stubborn myself. 😃

kristliI haven't been around on this site for a very long time but I understand what you mean about it just being a build in our DNA.

Your doctor is wrong though and you don't have to live with that. There are many great alternatives, other medications, it's successful. You may have already done all of this and if so I'm crossing fingers and toes for you :)

Thank you Christina! I hope you are doing well. I miss the LJ days. Take care of yourself!

I'm starting to as well... people tended to really read about each other instead of short one liners (which are nice sometimes I admit) so that's where the connection fails. Right now FB is tagged as the old person's platform lol I wonder what LJ would be tagged as!

I was reading through my posts and all from years back and WOW. Totally different life there. Had to post an update even though nobody really gets on here anymore.

Same here….I can’t read my past posts much because they’re so painful! But it also helps me see how far I’ve come, and for that I’m grateful.

I became lifelong friends with several people through LJ. That hasn’t happened for me on FB, Instagram or TikTok. At least we can come back here to LJ occasionally and reconnect!
