So, it's been almost seven years since my last post. And so many things have happened in that time. The one thing that never changes: depression and I still live together. We have our moments, but overall, we live very peaceably together these days. I'm revamping this blog because it's something deeply personally and very important to me. I used to post to it anonymously - I had a separate gmail account for it any everything. But I realized that I wasn't really being real that way. I was adding to the nameless, faceless mass of people who suffer from depression everyday due to societal stigmas and fears. I firmly believe that this attitude toward depression (and all other mental health disorders and diseases) is debilitating and unjust in our current society. And so, I am putting my name on it. Proudly. Have a read at posts I did in my mid-20s. And watch for new content as I put life back into this blog.
Stay strong. --Nina
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.
