I am glad to say that I do not have Depression. I think I just had a serious case of the blues. But I have broken free from them. For now. The ups and downs of life sometimes seem like an unbearable roller coaster. The joy of the riding the peak (for however long it may last) makes it all worth while. But getting through those down moments can be a long, arduous challenge.
Do I suffer from depression? Have you ever asked yourself that? Considering 12.4 million women (versus 6.4 million men) are affected by depression each year, you very well could be. But there are many positive points to make. If you are depressed, you certainly aren't alone and there is help. As I mentioned in my last post, three of my dearest friends suffer from various degrees of depression -from bi-polar disorder to mild depression. They are both happy and healthy. It was a long road for my friend with bi-polar disorder, but her support team (family, friends and doctors) were invaluable to her daily survival. If you suspect you have depression, please call someone - friend, family or doctor - for help.
