I Wrote Myself Out of Depression

It wasn’t easy but I did it

The story begins in 2022, late nights, and eating junk food. I hated life, I didn’t want to go outside, or even wake up. In 2023 I made a pledge to improve my life. I saw myself in the mirror after waking up particularly late one day and was disgusted. That was the catalyst for change.

I didn’t discover Medium until late 2023. I did start writing on Twitter in April 2023, and while it was only short-form content, in Tweet form, it was something. Something that took my mind off, well, nothing. That was the issue. I had nothing going on, no purpose.

Writing gave me that purpose.

I wrote myself out of a dark place and created a personal brand. I ended up dragging myself out of the void of nothingness and to somewhere better. Twitter was just the beginning though, I managed to get into much better routines and habits.

But I started to slip again. I knew I could feel it. That hand clasping around my throat again. I knew I was failing despite all my efforts. I’d made $150 in eight months, not good enough. Then like a light in the darkness, Medium shone.

I joined and made $600 in my first month. It helped my motivation, and my mental state began to improve once again. I have a lot to say to writing, but one message I’d that makes sense over any other is this:

Thank you writing, you saved me. What is writing for you?
