Dealing with perfectionism and depression. Real Life: My Decision to Medicate Depression. June 21, 2016. Over the last three years of my life with diagnosed depression, I was actually pretty proud that I was not on medication. I was learning coping skills, I was high-functioning, and I didn’t need to rely on anything else. What if it turned me into a zombie? What if I felt things that weren’t real? How would I know what was real and what wasn’t? Would I be able to trust my own brain? More days passed, an...

Dealing with perfectionism and depression. August 19, 2015. August 19, 2015. I remember hearing the creak of an opening door when Jeffrey R. Holland, a special witness of Jesus Christ, declined to condemn those of us with broken minds, but affirmed that “we are infinitely more than our limitations or afflictions.” I heard the deep yoga breath of fresh air as I contemplated for the first time that God didn’t look down disapprovingly on my “sin” of being depressed. And used Him to bless the lives of others.

“I’m Still Here” | Chasing Perfect

Dealing with perfectionism and depression. 8220;I’m Still Here”. May 7, 2015. My unspoken rule for these posts is that I write them shortly after a “bout.” After the worst is over and lucid, rational thought returns and I can sort through some of the thoughts and experiences that come with it all. But it has to be soon after, because it’s odd to me how quickly I can forget what depression. Just as hope would lack meaning without depression, depression cannot exist as a force without hope.

Fighting and Falling and Doing it All Again | Chasing Perfect

Dealing with perfectionism and depression. Fighting and Falling and Doing it All Again. June 19, 2015. Lately I’ve been wondering if depression is something that never gets better, that never goes away, but can only be avoided, evaded, delayed, or distracted. Never healed or overcome. I’m not actually sure which time wins for the worst of my life. It will still come back no matter how good my little box of coping skills gets. Do I just keep fighting a losing battle? What can I really do? You are commenti...

Dealing with perfectionism and depression. Signs, or Why My Socks Don’t Match Sometimes. November 4, 2015. November 4, 2015. So I walk the interesting line of having depression, but not always being depressed, right? I find myself staring off into space a lot. Sometimes when I’m under I crave a certain food. And need to eat like ten of whatever it is. I know that other mornings are around the corner. Mornings when I am unstoppable and can conquer anything. Mornings when Buckets stays in his place...Katie...

Dealing with perfectionism and depression. 8220;Start:” Asking for Help. July 29, 2016. Many of you know that my little brother passed away last week. How have I been handling that? I’ve started having trouble sleeping at night (a common symptom of depression, but one I haven’t usually had to deal with), and I have almost no desire to get out of bed in the morning. So what to do about it? Who to talk to? I remembered my friend telling me about a crisis text line with people that will just chat with you a...

Dear Professor, | Chasing Perfect
https://theproblemwithperfect.wordpress.com/2016/11/03/dear-professor
Dealing with perfectionism and depression. November 3, 2016. I was too busy to do a good job on the paper I turned in today. What was I too busy with? Oh, a panic attack. You see, there was this bug and I’m not even scared of bugs but this one made my chest constrict and my lungs collapse and my eyes go blurry and my head go dizzy. Did you know that anxiety attacks are physically exhausting? What if I am stuck anxious and depressed? I know that sometimes I’m fine. I know that last week was fine and n...
