DEPRESSION-Hurts, My Story

Depression Hurts, My Story


There are many people walking around feeling bummed, many people may just say I am sad or blame it on the weather. This could be the early signs of depression. I suffer severe depression and Post Tramatic Stress Disorder, I have for some time now. This disorder is nothing to be ashamed of or scared to let someone help you. YOU HAVE TO SPEAK OUT.....let yourself be heard. Even if you come from a great enviroment or have the greatest family it can still hit you. Trust me it hits like a ton of bricks. Many things can cause depression, with the way the economy is today with many jobs lost more will suffer. There was a time when you just didnt talk about depression for fear of rejection ,the shame you would bring on your family, or just to scared. Those days are gone, or they should be....There are so many groups out they willing to help, lend their support, contact them give them a chance. Treatment will take some time but you must remember it took sometime for you to feel this way. Don't suffer by yourself...take that first step, the very first step is the most important, and that step is being true to yourself, true to the feelings that your having.
Many people try to hide this illness, yes it is an illness, but this illness you can recover from. Time is on your side. You have control take charge of your life, don't let this bring you down. When you take control, and fight this you will be back on track. People that hide or try to deny it many end up taking their own life....DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN.....People don't understand what a family goes through when they lose a loved one that has taken their own life. You can get better...reach out your hand to someone, there will always be someone there to take your hand walk you through this hard time in your life. The problem is many friends and family members don't know how to come to you and ask how things are, or tell you they think you have problem until it's to late...if you think someone may be DEPRESSED please talk to them, let them know you are there for them.
The pain you suffer is real, it can keep you from doing things you would normaly do. When all you want to do is stay in bed, or just sit on the couch watching TV, and not caring about what is going on around you.The pain is not in your head thats for sure, the pain hurts, your entire body aches. Sleeping habits then come into play, there are days you want to sleep all day and then days or nights you just can't sleep at all. You have to make yourself get up, the longer you lay there the longer your depression will last. I am not saying after one time talking to a doctor your going to automaticly get up and run around the block, but that first talk will start your road to recovery, and trust me thats one road I want to be on....
