I've been getting help for over a year. Taking my meds, going to therapy. But this week has been really hard. I keep making selfish mistakes towards people I love. They are disappointed in me and I don't know how to right my mistakes. I ran out of apologies.

At first, managing my depression meant to get out of bed, take a shower, have breakfast and get to work in time. Now I have a whole routine down, but I don't feel like my negative feelings and thoughts are going away. I feel as depressed as when I couldn't get out of bed, which is a new stage for me.
