About me

Introduction	My name is Ginna. I am 25 years old. I live in New York. I have been going through depression for six years. People think because you’re young, you shouldn’t have problems like this. You should go out more. Travel. “Live your life.” A lot of people think that depression is sadness. “Look on the bright side,” they say, “Count your daises.” But depression is not about sadness. Nor it is about rational thinking; people with depression tend to me more pragmatic and realistic about life than others. It is certainly an altered state of consciousness: a time when parts of your life that you used to take for granted: shopping, cooking, bathing, eating—become exhausting. Even leaving the house can be terrifying. Activities you once cherished now feel like they are draining the life out of you, drop by drop. This is my journey.
