Dealing with Depression
Depression hits everyone at some point in their lives, and for some it continues for the rest of their lives. I am one of the many that have to deal with depression on a daily basis. I have had depression since I was a child, and it is just a minor victory to get up and start my day. For me the ugly truth of depression is not having the motivation to do things that I need to do to continue on my college career. Depression comes in many different forms depending on the person. Mine is best friends with anxiety. My anxiety hits me for no apparent reason, and so I believe that I should share some of the many ways that I help my depression and anxiety, as I do not take any prescriptions for either. I did think about getting an emotional support animal, thinking that that would help, but with taking six college classes, the equestrian team, and trying to find a job I would have no time for it. And, with no time for it then the animal would suffer, so it is not fair to the animal to do that to it.
