While I find this really hard to type...I hope my words can reach even a few people who might need help. Around 3 months ago, I was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Its the absolute worst thing Ive ever experienced. Through the help of a therapist and some anti-depressant meds, Im finally starting to feel a little bit better. The darkness that began to overcome me was almost unbearable. Im lucky enough to have a strong man by my side who assisted me in getting help, when I was finally ready. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Theres a way out. Crying on the dark bathroom floor wont last forever. I encourage any of my friends who are going through this or have gone through it to reach out....its such a horrible dirty illness that no one wants to talk about....its so often suppressed and were told to just deal with it...there are people with problems so much worse than you....blah blah...enough. Its an illness and disease so often overlooked because depression is amongst everyone, everyday. Chances are, someone you love is suffering from depression. Make sure you know the warning signs so you can help them before its too late.
