Good morning! Hope all is well, if not, guess what...I'm here for you!! You might be thinking "So what, who are you?"
 
Well let me tell you why we are valuable to each other. Having had my first bouts of depression as a tween, I have been suffering from it for over 15 years. So I know exactly what you are going through! My having Depression too and having found things that work and that keep those rainy storms at bay, I can help you do the same, and I'm sure you can tell me a few things I don't know. Hence, we help each other!

There is no cure for Depression. Sorry to break it to you. You can use medication(Band aids for Depression), or you can spend your big bucks on some know it at who studied Psychology so he/she can "help" people. Stop wasting your time and money. I'm not saying that talking to someone or sharing your feelings and thoughts with someone is useless, I'm saying that unless your Councilor, Therapist, Psychologist, or what ever other fancy name he/she gives himself. That's just like when you suffer a great loss, a spouse or even a child of your passes and someone will say..."I know how you feel". No they don't, maybe they have lost a loved one but it could have been a relative or a pet. Loosing a spouse or a child has no comparison. And until they have lost one of those, they don't know how you feel! Same thing for Depression, unless the one giving you advice, mentoring, or "helping" you has gone through this crap themselves, they are wasting their time and more importantly yours!!

So, this all brings me back to the reason for my post: I AM here for you!

  1. I can appreciate this blog. For many years I was married to someone who had depression but was not diagnosed with it until about 12 years into the marriage. What a difference it could have made if I knew what I was contending with....actually until the diagnosis of depression of one of our daughters...I just could not figure out what life was about. And how could this be since...it soesn't run in "our family" OR is it that we just never talked about it! And even at that point my husband was diagnosed with PTSD...what a revelation. That is it for now...thank you for doing this DR. NOBODY
