INTRODUCTION


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.
