you dont have to do medication to beat depression, i know ive done it. but you DO need help. the best thing that happened to me was when i was told 'you are suffering from clinic depression'. then i could own it. it was an illness. you have a condition you get the right treatment to fix it. i did it 6 years ago and my life changed. yes i get down and yes i get the early signs but now i know what they are and i recognise them and most importantly i know how to deal with them. That means i know i will NEVER drop into the deep deep mire of total depression i did again. I appreciate the stigma attached to 'mental' illness. and yes, i am cautious who i tell but i make myself be open about it to others and perhaps it will help them to seek help before it consumes them.
just wanted to share that.
