This is the beginning of what shall serve as my vault for storing my thoughts, memories, fears, secrets, regrets, triumphs, and conclusions about depression and my experiences living with it. It won't be pretty, false, or sugar-coated. Just the honest truth as I have lived it. And, somewhere between the sorrows, the pain, the difficulties, and the grief, I hope to find the clarity to re-realize the hopes, dreams, and happiness that I often feel are overshadowed...
***The date stamps I created for this and the following posts (all seeming to have been written between the hours of 6:30pm to 11:45pm) are merely so that you can read them in order. They were written in a certain order that I feel is necessary to keep as I post them on my blog. So, although posts usually appear as most recent first, in the case of these posts on "November 27" (the day I started writing the series in my old journal, that is) they are shown on the page as earliest first, most recent last.***
I am an everyday person. A face in the crowd. Perhaps you've even passed me on the street. And I have depression. This is a collection of my experiences coping with depression on a daily basis. A chronicle of the life of my depression, if you will. But it is also a forum through which I fight current social stigmas and taboos about depression and mental illness. Please comment and share with the world out there. It's important.
