When I was diagnosed with severe depression about 18 years ago I felt SO alone. I truly thought that I would never be happy again. I didn't think that anyone could understand how I felt, let alone help me. I remember wishing over and over that I could talk to someone who had felt exactly what I was feeling and not only lived to tell about it but were living happy, productive lives. Now, at the age of 39, I can confidently say I am happy and productive and finally accomplishing the things that I have always dreamed of!
One of my hopes in creating this blog is to find that person or persons who also feel alone and like no one understands them. I want to share what brought me to where I am now and what held me back for far too long. I'd also like to hear about your experiences and what has helped you. All I ask is that you keep an open mind, especially to those things that you may previously had been closed minded about, and I will try to do the same. And please.....give others the benefit of a doubt for only Jesus Christ understands exactly what each of us are going through.
I can't overstate the fact that THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE AND YOU ARE NEVER ALONE!
