Ive been thinking all day about how to word this post because I am not looking for attention or sympathy but dream of the day that it will be as normal to explain to someone that you have depression as it is to have any other illness. I have had severe depression and still can have very down times and I most definitely wouldnt have got through those times without the amazing support of my family, friends and work colleagues. I shut myself off from the world, sometimes for days, was paranoid about everything going on around me and often couldnt do the most basic of every day functional activities. Medication helped get me to a place that I could work out, with help, how to get through the most severe four years. It can be so hard to go to someone and talk as you feel you dont want to be a burden to them and feel that no one can understand or help but if you are ever feeling low or depressed reach out and seek the help that is available in so many places. That help might be at home, with your friends, your GP, a counselling service or an organisation such as the 1life, Samaritans or Console. It may be the hardest thing you do in your life but once youve taken that step, the rest, albeit on a roller coaster journey, will somehow feel easier. Xxx
