It's so good that you recognize when you need help - and follow through and get it. With that kind of outlook and attitude I hope you'll continue to thrive. {hugs}<br /><br />Tanya @ <a href="http://girlplusbooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Girl Plus Books</a>Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-25169640435895283582015-12-13T04:07:27.280-05:002015-12-13T04:07:27.280-05:00You are so so brave for doing this kind of post.

Per...You know I am here for you and Jessica, Amber! Personally, I'm honored and humbled that you are sharing part of your story with us/the world. It's not easy to open up about what's behind close doors - especially when the Internet is really quite a vicious place, and you're not sure of anything. I've seen how strong and brave you are, and I know that you will always be strong and brave, no matter how difficult everything seems/will be. Your friendship and blogging peerage means a lot to me, and I want you to know that I support you (and Jessica!) in any/all endeavors. <br /><br />People never know what others are dealing with or going through, but that doesn't make personal issues any less real or crushing. THANK YOU for sharing this part of your life - I hope this saves someone, just as much as I know it touched me. :)<br /><br />Alyssa @ <a href="http://eaterofbooks.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">The Eater of Books!</a>Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00128004483437247740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-57357762345508696692015-12-13T00:31:46.350-05:002015-12-13T00:31:46.350-05:00Thank you so much for sharing your story Amber and...Thank you so much for sharing your story Amber and I hug you for being so brave in doing so. I know we haven't known each other for long but I love you and being friends with you. I don't personally know too many people who go through anxiety and have had depression but based on what I hear, it's a horrible thing to go through. My DM is always open for you when you need it :)<br /><br />~Kaitlin @ Next Page Please! <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00964344378441137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7311467534427600817.post-80907918061665992942015-12-12T13:48:59.457-05:002015-12-12T13:48:59.457-05:00Thank you for sharing with us Amber.

Society throws the word around like its nothing. But it's something, and it effects a lot of people.

Up until now, I only know mental health from books, and I know that they sometimes isn't accurate.

I've gone through a couple bouts of pretty bad depression, and I didn't even realize I was depressed until I looked back on those times. <br /><br />The first time, I hardly showered, I slept as much as possible, I threw on the first items of (dirty) clothing I could find. It wasn't pretty. The second time, I let my morals spiral out of control. I didn't care about much of anything. I drank any time I could, I smoked pot. I didn't care about making myself better. I just wanted to feel good. Again, it was not pretty. I am so ashamed when I look back on those times, but I am so far away from being that person now. This has been my best semester of college. It has been so fun! I joined a sorority, became more involved on campus. I dress up every morning, do my hair and makeup, and it makes me feel so good about myself. I walk around with confidence and my head held high now. I am working on growing as a person, and that's what is beautiful. <br /><br />You're right--depression is extremely romanticized. It shouldn't be. It is ugly and it is all-consuming. While I know I shouldn't be ashamed of the way I was when I was depressed (you can't really help some of the things you do when you're suffering from depression), it's hard not to. But things have gotten so much better for me, just like they'll get better for you and everyone else who feels like they won't. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing this. It really hit me in the heart.
