So, I was thinking earlier, about how different it is to be depressed now, than when I was depressed as a teenager, and I came up with a great way of thinking of it.
When I was like a teenager, depression was like being dumped somewhere strange and unwelcoming, I was also blindfolded and someone had dug great big holes everywhere, which I kept falling in, as I was blindfolded.
In my early twenties, someone had filled in all the holes, but I was still blindfolded, and didn't have any idea where to go, or where I was, or what I should do.
Now in my mid twenties, there and no more holes, and no more blindfold, I still end up in strange and unwelcoming places, but I'm not stumbling about blindly, and although these places aren't nice, they aren't scary anymore now I can see what is going on
Maybe one day I will even get a map!
