I've not dealt with it all my entire life, but I've dealt with the building up of it my entire life. And then I exploded. I only recently started blogging openly about it, too. Not a lot of people know much about it, and the media doesn't really help, either. A blogging friend of mine told me, "If you're so depressed, you need to be in a hospital. We don't need people like you out on the streets. People like you should be locked up." Now, we're not really friends as much anymore.<br /><br />It takes a lot to be able to blog about this, so congrats on being able to.<br /><br />I used to apologize for my depression, but I stopped. I stopped because depression is the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me.Izzy @ izzy.bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460164195224771667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5349482393396259256.post-85772239209851259442013-08-28T22:38:13.405-04:002013-08-28T22:38:13.405-04:00good for you!

I have suffered from Depression all my life! It started in my teens as a result of being obese and being tormented by others around me and continued through my son's birth and dead. Now I suffer from it and anxiety.. I have literally been on and tried every depression/anxiety medication that exists and every form of therapy, including hypnosis without trance (after my son's death). I don't think Depression is anything to be ashamed about-- if you need someone to talk to or any advice on anything, email me personally because I'm more than happy to tell ya anything. But more so, hang in there!
