Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
By Adam Lee
Depression don't you just love it?
Winston Churchill referred to his depression "The Black Dog Of Depression"
I have had my “black dog” since I was 16-17 I'm now 38.
I wasn't diagnosed until 19 years old.
I remember thinking "this is horrible how long until it goes away" like I had some terrible virus or something.
I also remember the horror of learning it may not go away.
I may just have to learn to live with it and manage it.
It wasn't just depression I had but debilitating anxiety and obsessive compulsion disorder, and I'm being told this may not go away!
Wow!
Let’s just start with the anxiety well that’s how it started.
Way back when I was in primary school although no one knew I had anxiety back then (1974-1981)
Like most kids I didn’t want to go to school, but I would go off to school crying and carrying on.
I just hated being way from home and my dog.
I still experience this today
Then my mum on most days, would ring the school to make sure I was there.
Quite often I wasn’t so she would go looking for me.
She would find me hiding in the back yard or in the neighbors garden somewhere.
Or somewhere , along the way to school.
The anxiety I had in those early school years were horrible, to this day “tan bark” makes me feel very sick.
The school playground had tan bark in gardens all around the school.
The teachers didn’t help, in grade 1 and 3 I had two ahole teachers both screaming ear twisting cane smacking sadists.
But half way through grade 3 something wonderful happened.
They split my class down the middle, half stayed with the wig wearing sadist and half was going to another teacher.
The waiting to find out where I was going was tense.
Thankfully I went to the other teacher’s class and she was a lovely lady.
Mrs brown, who was ironically married to the asshole I had in grade two.
My grades went through the roof.
But early grade three was when my obsessive compulsive order started.
First it was counting, anything and everything I would count.
Then it was tapping and drumming with my fingers on tables my thighs or tapping out beats with my feet.
Over and over these beats would go on, it drove my mum nuts!
No matter how much she yelled at me to stop, I couldn’t unless I got the beat perfect twice in a row.
Little did she know, It drove me nuts too, but even though I wanted to stop I couldn’t until I got that beat perfect twice!
The same thing applied to annoying my big sister she freakin hated it.
I would pull her hair poke her in the ribs or mimic everything she said .
Just annoying things probably like most little brothers, but as much as I wanted to I couldn’t stop until she would ignore me just once. Thank god only once.
If she reacted to my annoying it would fuel me on I couldn’t stop until I got no reaction.
That was pretty hard for her to ignore.
I hated it probably more than she did.
By the time I was in high school my behavior stopped and my sister and I became friends.
High school was where I met Lisa, she was fourteen and I was 15.
We were together for 1 year then she broke it off.
From 16 to 17 I experienced my first bout of depression.
By the time I was 18 I was ok I had started work for a family business.
It was a very nice environment to work in.
Lisa and I also got back together sometime that year.
There was no sign of my depression, anxiety or obsessive compulsive disorder.
Things were great until
