My name is Sarah and I have depression. I have
spent many years fighting with my disease and keeping it a secret but I finally
decided that it was time to share my struggles and what I have learned because
of my disease.
My reasons for starting this blog are mostly selfish. I
enjoy writing and I like knowing that my thoughts and opinions are going out
into the world for others to read. But, I also wanted to share my story and
thoughts with others who struggle with depression and their loved ones. I hope
that I can help other people have a little more understanding and compassion
towards those who struggle with this disease. You may wonder why I call it a
disease. Generally when we think of a disease we think of something that
ravages the body, in my eyes, depression is a disease that ravages the mind. No
thought is safe from the power of depression. No one experiences depression the
same way but some concepts are the same and hopefully I will be able to explain
those things. I would encourage any who have stories or thoughts to share about
their struggle to message me and I will make sure your story gets told on this
blog.
