Hi there! First: see my picture? That is the face of Depression. (I’m the female)

As I get older, I’m finding that I know and understand less and less. Life can be very hard and confusing but it can also be amazingly wonderful. It’ll never be either of those things forever and that is difficult to accept. I was diagnosed with Depression at age 17 and have been struggling with it ever since. I’m 33 now. I’ve tried just about every med, been hospitalized and been through a round of ECT. My Depression is treatment-resistant so when I have periods of stability, I feel like I’ve been asleep for awhile and am seeing things with a new pair of eyes. I want to help you understand your issues and work to live with them the best way you can. I have a unique point of view and I only want to help you survive what hell mental illness can be.

If you replace the "I" in Illness to "We", Illness becomes Wellness.

You are loved. I promise.
