Depression - You Are Not Alone.
Depression is common. Many people over their life experience periods of depression. It can take months or it can take years to recover. The reasons vary as much as the different shades of paint you could use to decorate a wall. And the depth varies in a wide range of hues.... deep dark ... medium or light.
But others, people who have been abused and traumatized, they may have to learn how to cope with depression for decades or even their entire life.
I know, I have had to do this.
Do you realize over 50% of all women have taken some type of anti-depressant or mood stabilizer medication in their life? YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
Odds are many people you would NEVER suspect and who would never tell you have been on medication to help them with depression.
But this doesn't make your depression improve, just to know others experience. I know, I have had to deal with this also.
For those who live with unstable emotions a lot, it can be an endless cycle of ups and downs. That doesn't mean you are bi-polar... it just means when life gets stressed, when challenges, schedules, demands build - you are more apt to become emotionally unbalanced. It is not something you consciously control and it is not something you desire, but it is part of your life.
Facing reality is the first step to getting help and learning ways to cope. I am going to write next on ways to practically cope with depression, but I would like to hear from you. Do you have a way you cope with depression that might be able to help others? We will all be better for it, if we learn to share and help each other.
