I just came to this realization yesterday. I’m on mobile so forgive me for the format.
For the past 6 weeks, my mental health was steadily declining. I was having a lot of car issues right around when it started (I commuted over an hour away from home), and I attributed those feelings to that. Since then, I got my dream job and the commute is less than 10 minutes, my car issues have been fixed, and I got the apartment I’ve been dreaming of for months. I should’ve been ecstatic!
Instead, for 6 weeks, I have not cleaned my room or detangled my hair. I would just wash my hair and put it back in a bun. I had no energy to do anything. I would get home and just lay in bed until it was time to sleep. I kept asking myself, “why am I not happy right now?”
I got sick a few days ago. One of my friends suggested getting a probiotic to help the situation, so I went to the pharmacy 2 days ago. There I saw this multivitamin I’ve been taking since last year. I had ran out of it like 2 months ago, but I figured I had another bottle somewhere and just couldn’t find it. I never bought another and just stopped taking them. Took it once I got home.
Yesterday I felt like a new woman. I had all this energy and felt amazing. I was able to wash my hair AND detangle it, finally! Then it dawned on me…
IT WAS THE DAMN MULTIVITAMINS!!!!
I know they don’t work for everyone, but I tend to be on the anemic side. They really do make all the difference for me.
Friends, learn from me and make sure you’re taking your vitamins. Or acquiring them somehow. It really does make a difference!
TL;DR : I thought I was so depressed because I wasn’t taking care of myself, and couldn’t figure out why that was since all of the good things were happening in my life. Turns out I just needed some vitamins in my system ( -.-‘ )
ETA: there’s a difference between having depression symptoms and being diagnosed with major depressive disorder. A lot of illnesses have the same symptoms but different treatments. I never said I was diagnosed with depression, and I never said the cure for depression is multivitamins. There are a multitude of reasons (medical or situational) why people could feel depressed. Mine just so happens to be a lack of vitamins.
People can feel depressed and not have depression.
