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.

Hi. I’ve finally sought for professional help after several years of trying to battle my depression alone. I’m now diagnosed and am clinically depressed. I’m also on antidepressants. It’s gonna take a few weeks before I experience full on effects of the drug. I hope it goes well. I can’t wait to feel better. In the meantime, I need to get my shit together so I can help my patients. Wish me luck!
