depression hits people in all catagorys

age,race,religion,and profession.

im really open about mine --why hide it i did for years

then i finely accepted it was part of who and what i am ...and i learned not to be so ashamed of it

i openly announce it whenever it fits the conversation ..its kind of like this is what im living with every day of my life

every waking moment it doesnt disappear for holidays or daylight savings time.

it might go into remission like a cancer --but its always in me --just like its in millions of

others that either dont think they have a problem or are afraid to admit they do..

sometimes by admitting our weakness's we help others conquer theres

but it doesnt make us weak unless we let it

sometimes were the strongest people you know

because were fighting what we know is a never ending battle

and still not giving up.

alot of people belive people with depression can choose to just be happy if they wanted

if that was the case how many of us do you really think would choose

sadness pain angry low self estem and worthlessness

over being happy/?
