This time of year is hard on most of us. I have had serious issues in years past. A year ago I was in the hospital due to my depression. That was the second time in one year. I was the one that decided I needed to go. I didn't hurt my self just had really bad thoughts and knew I needed to get help and fast. I am happy to say that I haven't had too hard of a time this last year. Although there has been allot going on this year I am actually doing better then I ever thought I would. I have been having some down points but seem able to snap out of them fast. I think it is good for people with depression to learn about what is going on with them and know there are resources out there to help them and that they need to take care of them selves. Also having a good support system helps allot. I have great support and that has helped immensely. If you are reading this and have any questions I am open to answer them. I want to help people out by letting them know it is ok to be deppressed and that it is best to get help.
