Hey everybody, So I promised you all a vlog so here it is, this is technically my first vlog. Its gonna be a short one because my roommate is gonna be back soon. So I’ll just do a quick introduction of myself and why I started this vlog. I have a small introduction on my actual blog but I figured I should elaborate on it a little bit more and I started this blog mainly for the video. My name is Dessy. It’s of course not my real name but a few people do call me it. I have been diagnosed with Panic Disorder, Depression, and ADHD- unorganized type. Panic Disorder is a type of AD if u didn’t already know, the diff is u have more panic attacks or anxiety attacks in PD, u have some in AD but more in PD and more severe. I have been diagnosed with depression for about four years ish, anxiety for four-ish years. The diagnosis of anxiety of disorder came before the depression. I’ve been diagnosed with ADD for about 6 months… yeah late diagnosis… oh well. I’ll go into further detail in other vlogs/blogs later. Let’s see, what do I do with my time? Study… it’s pretty much my entire life right now because of finals. Why did I start this blog? I wanted to share how I find strength and the techniques I have used and the techniques other people I know have used. So I’ll be talking about how to cope with depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, some other things, how to deal with the sucky things in life like bullying and relationships that have gone south. I currently don’t have a bf, I don’t plan on having on anytime soon. I just got out of a relationship a few weeks ago month ago, he ended up being a huge jerk, so I’m gonna recover from that breakup and the stuff him and his friend did (see first blog), and…. Just share knowledge, answer questions about depression or anything I talk about or anything psychology related that you guys want answered. I am a psych major/ soc minor, so I do know some stuff about psychological disorders, and I have my own experience and what I’ve learned in school. Though my knowledge is limited, I do have resources to ask. And my therapist… I have a really good therapist, we have a very open and close relationship, I’m very thankful for her. What else do I do? Mainly why I got into the psychology field is…. Well before I was diagnosed I was planning on coming to university for an English major. Two things changed that, one is there are no jobs in the English field that I really wanted to do. When I was diagnosed, it started to interest me.. then continued to interest me… and my therapist really made an impact on me (she goes out of her way for her clients) She showed me the psychology field, she didn’t treat me as someone who was depressed, just as someone who was having a few issues. So that’s all for today, Peace out =]
This blog is how I, and others I know, cope with depression/anxiety/ bullying/ and other things that don't go the way we wish they would. I try to provide information about [mostly psychological] disorders as well as treatment options. I try to make the information more understandable and more hopeful. =D
Intro
As I state above, this is my blog on my struggles and how I fight thru it all. (I'm explaining in two places to make my blog more accessible lol... still learning all this stuff) Let me introduce myself, I will not be using my real name, nor any real names of people included in this, meaning names will be changed so don't try to google them =] ) Ok, so the name I will be using is Dessy, it's a nickname I was given years ago. This is simply a blog on what I've been thru and what I am doing to combat them, my intensions being to provide myself an outlet and provide others who struggle in similiar ways with hope. I hope you enjoy and please no negative comments (this is a blog for hope!)
