A Journey of Hope: Overcoming my battle with Depression
Everyday felt like a struggle to get out of bed, to face the day ahead, and to find joy in the things that used to bring happiness. It was a constant battle, and I often felt like I was losing. But there were also moments of hope, when I could see a glimmer of light shining through the darkness. These moments gave me the strength to keep going, to keep fighting. Over time, I began to realize that I was not alone in this struggle. Others had fought similar battles and had come out on the other side. I reached out for help, talking to friends and family. Slowly but surely, I began to see a change. The fog of depression lifted, and I started to feel more like myself again. I found joy in the things I used to love and felt hopeful for the future. The battle with depression was not an easy one, but it was one that I could win. With support, self-care, and a determination to keep going, I found a way through the darkness and into the light. In the end, I emerged stronger, more resilient, and more grateful for the small things in life that make it all worth it. I knew that the battle with depression might never be fully over, but I had the tools and the strength to keep fighting, and that was enough.

Finding yourself as an Indigenous person diagnosed with ADHD.
It’s such a strange concept, ADHD, it’s one that I am still getting used to and, ever more so still trying to understand. I only got diagnosed last year, after practically begging my treaty-promised healthcare provider to see a psychiatrist then to only have to convince the dismissive doctor that I deserved to be evaluated. I had already had the inclination that I was, in fact, symptomatic of ADHD tendencies, and I thought the diagnosis would offer relief in the sense of validation. In a way it did, but it also led to a whole new world I was not prepared for.
