My depression has been getting worse over the past couple years. I've finally opened up the trauma box of my own childhood and instead of facing it, I've been trying to numb as much as possible and pretend I'm ok. Yesterday, I texted a crisis line for the very first time and realized what I've been doing. I can't hide from my trauma anymore, I've got to go through it, and I'm scared.
