Depression Memoir: Updated 2/10 [View all]

Last edited Fri Feb 10, 2012, 02:33 AM - Edit history (4)

This thread is intended to serve as a place to document my own experience in the dark world many of us inhabit—temporarily—though it may seem as though it will never end. I am working on what may become a book, primarily to work through the whole of the mess I was in and maybe help others see they're not alone, they're not "going crazy," and that no matter how badly they feel, it can and does get better.

If I can give someone a laugh or two in the process, even better. Doing something for others makes me feel good, and, bonus, doesn't cost anything. I would love to know your thoughts on the stories, whether positive or negative, as I work toward refining them.

You can read the first couple of entries here:

If you find something that causes you distress or pain, please alert the moderator. Moderator, please alert me and I will edit.

And if anyone ever needs to talk, a hug, a sympathetic ear, feel free to DUMail me.
