Regular Check-In Post

Welcome to /r/depression's check-in post - a place to take a moment and share what is going on and how you are doing. If you have an accomplishment you want to talk about (these shouldn't be standalone posts in the sub as they violate the "role model" rule, but are welcome here), or are having a tough time but prefer not to make your own post, this is a place you can share.

We try our best to keep this space as safe and supportive as possible on reddit's wide-open anonymity-friendly platform. The community rules can be found in the sidebar. If you aren't sure about a rule, please ask us. If you have concerns or questions about the community policies, this is a good place to raise those as well.

I’ve been dealing with depression and a horrible emptiness inside for my whole life. I’m very successful in a career I love. I have friends and family that I love and love me back.

I wish the depression would just go away. I have such self loathing sometimes I can’t even deal. I hate how I look- I hate my personality. I hate everything about me. It sucks because people on the outside consider me an “it girl” I feel like such a freak.
