my family owns the most handsome dog I have ever seen.

I may have to create a separate blog for her, this dog is so incredibly beautiful and knows how to steal my heart <3

in the past years something that defined and shaped me is depression

I have been struggling for as long as I can think.. but only when you have kids, a job, a mortgage and other duties it becomes a real problem.. you get caught in a downward spiral and so many external factors are pulling you down, your coping mechanisms just don’t work anymore.

so in November 2021 I decided to turn the game around. I went to the doctor and demanded a different approach, different treatment. long-term if neccessary but after 10 years of so-so I thought it was time to change the game somewhat.

I was prescribed SSRI’s and my life has been turned upside down. I could go and write pages about this but that will come at a differnet moment.. Right now, almost 1 year later, I feel incredible and I can only encourage everyone who suffers.. seek help! Yes, I am aware I will probably have to take those meds for the rest of my life but so does a diabetic. There’s no shame admitting you have a defect because you know how to fix it and you make an effort to do it.

the only shameful thing is to stay suffering because some bros tell you a man has to suffer in silence and not complain. fuck those people. everyone deserves happiness.

Now excuse me, I have some catching up to do.. like.. 10 years of catching up :D
