When I read your post, it shocked me. I guess I didn’t want to think someone like you could be going through something like this. I know posting this couldn’t have been easy. You have always been so strong and brave for others. And it takes a strong person to openly admit something, before others can find the courage to do the same.
I can’t think of a single person in my life that hasn’t been affected by depression. Yet, if someone were to ask me in the street what the symptoms are, I doubt even another sufferer could tell me.
It took me, as far back as eight years to admit to myself I had experienced depression in one form or another up until the present day.
Even as I write this comment, I recognise within myself the same denial.
It’s important that people know depression can affect even the best of us. And that if we share our experiences, it can only help others, to know, they are not alone.
A well written and inspiring piece on what can be a very sensitive subject at times so well done lynz for sharing your experience :) xx
