Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Depression affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and depression may make you feel as if life isnt worth living. I want everyone to know that I have gone through depression. I have felt that the world would be better off without me. I could solve all my problems by ending myself..my life. One day I stood at the doorstep of the end. I planned it all out. I was to end my problems in one fatal leap. I cried about all the dreams I once had. The dream of happiness. The dream that I could be of value to this earth. I acknowledge that I had failed my family, my friends and worst of all my self. I was a failure and could not win. Somehow I found strength in not myself, but something filling me. I heard a voice that said ...I am not alone. I heard my family and friends calling me to stop. I did not recognize the voice but I heard it and stopped to listen. It called out to me to listen and not act. It told me I was valued. It told me I was loved. Somehow, somewhere, there was someone or something telling me That I would be loved until I could love myself. I stopped and listened. I fell to my knees and cried. I was unwilling to love myself but finally understood that I could be loved.That was 17 years ago next month. I call that voice God. Today I find joy in everything I do. I see the light in the darkness. I see the education in pain. I feel the love in the pain. Today, I am a husband, a Daddy, a brother, a son, a friend and an active member of my life. Today, I love myself for the man I am trying to be. If you, My Friend are hurting. If today is your day to say the hell with it ....I am here to tell you to stop, listen and understand! You are the reason I smile. You are the reason I try to make people laugh. You are valued. You are here for a reason. you are LOVED! Dream of being happy. LIVE YOUR DREAM
