I believe that many people do not take depression as seriously as it should be. This is partially why I decided to put a page on my site about it. I feel that people need to be educated about what is and what is not depression. Every person has had at least one bad day in their lives, but this does not constitute depression. I do not know why I get so defensive when people say "I think I have depression" simply because one thing in the day went wrong, but for some reason it bothers me. I have been diagnosed with depression/anxiety and have come to know what it feels like to have an attack of a large nature. Maybe this site is more to ease my own mind, but I share it with you. PLEASE sign my guestbook and tell me what you think. Your thoughts and ideas are very important to me. Also, if you would like to share a story about you or a loved one who is suffering or has suffered with depression, feel free to tell me by e-mail. If you want it on my pages, let me know. All stories will be placed on the pages anonymously unless you want me to use your name. Thank you, MysticMoon |
