I’d been depressed for a long time when I started counselling and had a few times therapy before which hadn’t helped all that much. It seemed to help just getting to talk about what depression is like for me. I didn’t know counselling would be like that. Sometimes it was hard to talk about it all and I wasn’t sure about all the feelings which sometimes were hard to deal with, but I started to notice I seemed to be doing more things in my life. I seem to be feeling like I can cope better with things and feel more motivated as well. I think I’ll still keep exploring my depression, but the way I think about it now feels different. I’m not even sure I’d still call it depression, or if it even needs a definition. I might have counselling again at some point, but that’s because it’s felt helpful this time.
