Depression is like sinking in quicksand and not fighting hard enough to get out you just keep sinking. It feels like your heart is broken but it really is your soul, every fiber in your body feels like lead and it is an effort to do anything. You hear Tom Cruise say it can be cured by vitamins and exercise but obviously he has never suffered, sure he wouldn't take his own advise. It seems like more and more people suffer from depression and the pharmaceutical companies are making millions. My grandmother was a manic depressive which passed on to my mother who tried to kill herself and now it seems its my turn. I do think it can be hereditary. Going through the days seems like a blur, one becomes the next and it just seems never ending. The worst is when you have kids and you really try not to let them see you suffer but children are smart and they can sense something is not right. Sometimes you just think it would be easier to just end it but I would never want my kids to have the label of a mother who killed herself. I have decided to write a journal and put everything i am feeling for 30 days to see if I can get a handle on this and try something everyday to improve myself.

Depression IS a family trait that can be passed on...My grandmother on my mother's side suffered, my mother suffered, still does, my father suffered and killed himself when I was 14, and HIS own father and brother both commited suicide! I have suffered from depression, my ENTIRE life. It has only been a couple of years that I have finally discovered WHY I always felt so sad. I thought it was just "the family curse"...no one from my family was ever happy. Now, I have mated with a man who has recently been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder, and our 9 year old daughter was diagnosed last year with Early Onset Bi-Polar disorder...Talk about one SCREWED up family!!!!! Man, I could start writing and not stop for probably a year....
I just found this depression blog...and it makes me feel SO, NOT alone anymore!!! I am not the only one out there like this...and I am not a FREAK of nature like I have been telling myself for years.
So, how are you feeling? I hope better? Misery loves company....and I for one am glad to have found this sight.
