It was a day like any other but I knew something felt wrong. That day, I went to class and suddenly broke down in front of many people. It was confusing, scary, and shameful. I didn’t know what to do and so I asked for help. They brought me to the hospital and that’s when I found out I have depression for several years now. I was so clueless about my mental well-being that I didn’t even realize that I’ve been suffering for so long. Those emotions weren’t just a phase, it was real. I’m so grateful that I know that now. I’m currently on the process of healing and I still have a long way to go; the journey is hard but so worth it.
