Getting Here Mentally
When I tell people I have depression and anxiety, I always seem to want to state how long I’ve been unwell, and it’s an answer I’m unsure of. On the one hand, I would argue it has been gradual, so gradual it is hard to know when it got to the point of being a problem and needing to seek help. On the other hand, there are certain events in my life which I can point to as when things became worse or took a turn. It’s probably a combination of both.
