I'm glad that you've found this supportive community. I've lived with severe depression for most of my life, but have pushed on when it's been really bad and sought help when it became intolerable. My greatest regret is waiting for so many years to tell anyone how bad the depression really got. Let's see.. Other info.. I'm in my late 30's, I love the outdoors, animals and photography. I travel extensively for work, so I'll likely be on here at all sorts of odd hours. I'm happily married and we don't have any children, but we plan to have a baby in the near future. I'm not religious, but respect those that are. If you want to talk, I'll listen. If you want, you can send me a message as well. I'm not here to judge; things are rarely as simple as they might seem at first.
