For five months now Ive been mostly silent about my situation. After the death of Robin Williams and with attention focused on depression I feel the need to change that. Ive fought with depression for a long time. During this past year things have gotten worse. My situation at work was extremely stressful and rather than being given support, I was pressured even more. It ended up with me on a sudden leave of absence that left me upset and confused. To my coworkers I seemed to have disappeared. I was in no shape to advocate for myself. The circumstances led to me becoming more isolated. I have been working to help myself and Im trying to move forward. It just seems wrong to keep silent, as if I were to blame. I dont like drawing attention to myself or asking for sympathy, but blaming yourself for depression is not a message I want to send to anyone.
