Living with Depression: A 25-Year-Old's Story

I have major depression. I have had this condition for about 10 years. I take medication everyday to be able to function and handle life. I’m sad/disappointed about the fact that I will most likely be on medication for the rest of my life at 25

Hey I’ve been on A LOT of meds starting at the age of 4, and will always be on meds. It isn’t something to be ashamed of or disappointed in. If you need medication, you need medication.

Hey what's up, I saw your post and I just wanted to let you know that you are not alone, I'm 21 and I got major depression too, the doctor prescribed me 3 different pills when I was 20 and I couldn't handle it, remember... YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN CONTROL IT. Those pills aren't more than you are, you are a person, that's a pill, never forget that ✌️
