Question:
Will i ever be the same person i use to be after going through depression?
Answers:
No....but that may be the beauty of a hard time--change and experience that makes us better people. I am so much more appreciative of my good days, of my health, of all the things I love and feel and enjoy. This is all because there was a time I never thought I'd ever enjoy or love anything ever again. I felt trapped and depressed. Now that, that phase of my life seems to be over and I have a healthier life I am glad that my life changed. I've heard it said that a mental breakdown is really a mental break-THROUGH. Well, with depression it is true too. I had to caccooon and turn off my brain and my emotions for a while. I had to just be so inward until my life made sense. When I was done caccooning I was ready to feel again and love again and be ME again.
Don't give up. You will have more insight after your caccooning season is over. Be kind to yourself. Let yourself be alone and quiet and sleepy and uninterested for a while until you figure it out. Then you will be whole again--and very much CHANGED!
