| Depression Makes No Sense |
Depression:
For those of you who have never suffered from depression, Consider yourself blessed!
For those of you who are still suffering, consider this: YOU CAN OVERCOME!! I know, I suffered for 38 years! I still have days that are not a "10", but that's normal. What is not normal is a state of true depression, where everything is bleak, and life seems like a long dark journey.
My Story
I remember lying on the sidewalk, staring up at the blue summer sky, watching the fluffy summer clouds drift by. My mother walked up the sidewalk, stepped over me, and then turned to look at me again.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm depressed." I answered.
"You are only 9 years old! What could you possibly have to be depressed about?"
She was right. Depression makes no sense. Never has, Never will.
There I was, in the prime of childhood, shouldn't have had a care in the world, a beautiful day.... being depressed.
Had I known then, what I know now, I would have made an attempt to get help of some kind... But, at that time, no one in my family or friends knew how to diagnose, let alone treat a condition like that.
It wasn't until I had lost everything and had to start over that I realized how much I had suffered.
