I've been thinking about my depression recently because I've realised that I've been depressed for over 10 years. wanted to check out the app, see if maybe people were discussing any treatments I haven't tried yet. I've tried seeing so many therapists and have tried so many medications throughout the years and nothing ever seems to help much. I did also get an autism diagnosis around three years ago, and I wonder how much my depression is influenced by by my autism- when I spend an entire week laying in bed, how can I tell if thats a depressive episode, or if I'm hiding or recovering from sensory input that overwhelmed me because of my autism? I don't know.
