This is my post about depression, & just how real it is. I hope all of my FB friends read this, & I hope it gets shared, so the word can get spread. Lets help one another kick depression in the ASS, so we as people can OVERCOME such a dark thing!! The world is losing too many good people from this UNSEEN DISEASE, yes I said disease, bc that is just what it is, & anyone who has ever had it, or has it knows just what I mean! The people I tagged are some of the most awesome ppl I know that have helped me in some of my darkest times, even if they dont know it! Im sure I will miss some though, so sorry now if I miss you! P.s. It would not let me tag anymore, but there are so many more of you! Ok, so the last couple of days have not been so good for one reason, & one reason only. A loss of a Loved one can bring many things to surface, esp darkness, & depression. My friend, & I have been talking, & we thought maybe posting something on depression would help get the word out that depression is a VERY serious illness, it is real, & alive, even though we wish it was not! We all know what depression is, & how it can grab a hold of you, & you just cant seem to shake it. I know I have been there many, many times. I have been so depressed that I have taken handfuls of pills to try to get to the other side, but that didnt work for some reason, I used to cut myself so I could feel in control of my pain, but that didnt work either. I tried a few things, but nothing ever worked (even pills from the Dr. for depression). I finally realized nothing was going to work unless I found a way to be truly happy with myself (& honestly that is one of the hardest things ever!) It takes a lot of work to be happy with yourself, but it CAN be done (I cant tell you how to become happy with yourself, bc it is different for each of us, but if you dig you will figure it out.) , you just have to allow it, & forget everyone else, & what they might think of you, bc your happiness is what matters. Not everyone will accept you, & that is ok, bc the ones that really Love you, & care for you will more then accept you! You also have to remember that the only person you ever have to prove a thing to is yourself, if we spent our lives trying to prove oursleves to everyone, we would never get anywhere. When you find those people that accept you, & Love you for who you are surround yourself with them, esp if/when you are depressed, bc they will go out of their way to help you, but they can only help so much, you do have to help yourself as well, but if you are down, & need a laugh, call, or msg one of those people, so they can say something uplifting to you. I know they will! Dont ever be afraid to say hey, Im kinda down, & could really use a friend bc you never know who will open their arms to you if you just ask. I know that I can honestly say I have NO clue where I would be without some awesome ppl that God has Blessed me with, bc EVERYtime I got down I would turn to them, & at least one of them would always make me feel as if I HAD a reason to live, & you know what, they were right, bc here I am standing today, not bc I never get depressed anymore (I will always have days), but bc I know it cant rain forever, even on the days that it seems like it will. There is SO much more I could say, but I will stop here.
