Depression

Depression is not something we choose to have. Depression is not a choice. Depression is an illness that lots of people suffer from, including myself. I have dealt with this illness for many of years and nothing seems to help. I was told to go talk to a therapist. Maybe they could help. So I tried it and I didn’t feel judged at all but a little part of me wondered what they would think when I walked out of that room. Would everything I just expressed to a total stranger just not matter anymore? I deal with problems every day and everything I do affects the way I feel and my mood and my presence. There are lots of girls and boys, women and men, anyone out there that knows exactly what I’m talking about... we just are calling for help from people that really care. Not just for a moment but forever and won’t stop until we feel ok. Depression is a disease. Please don’t ignore someone when they are reaching out for you for help. Look at the symptoms. Be a good listener. That’s all we really want: for someone to really care, so we won’t feel alone.
