I am starting this blog with the hopes that:
- Writing here will help me and be a little therapeutic
- Maybe others that suffer from depression or another "invisible" illness may find comfort reading and posting on this blog
- Hope to make people aware that depression is an illness (it took me years to figure that out) and the stigma that accompanies mental illnesses is terrible and needs to be defeated.
- Maybe I can help others that might be suffering now realize they CAN get help and it CAN be treated!!
I will try to post as much as possible but I just wanted to start this today. I just went through a horrific "episode" and I need to look for ways to GET OUT THE BAD FEELINGS!!
Thank you for reading my 1st blog post.
This is great! This will help many people, and you will make a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteThis IS great, and will make a huge difference for so many people. Congratulations on a great start!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!! I'm so excited by your passion to fight this. I know there are times when it is a fight to just get out of bed. To get out of bed....and START WRITING a BLOG about it! Awesomeness! The opportunity in each "episode" is learning how to prepare yourself for the next. That can be really frustrating, but it's true. As with many illnesses, the best success is learning how to manage symptoms. I'm glad you have great support from your therapist and Marc. I'm here for you too if I can help! Hang in there and keep fighting. You're sure to inspire and help others along the way.
