The Great Depression of 2017-2018

I’ve struggled with my depression for a long time. But something changed with this latest one. Maybe because it was long – almost a full year. Maybe because it was so bad. Maybe because I’ve finally accepted, truly accepted, that I cannot fight this battle on my own. That to try do so is to put myself at risk of a premature death, and to place an incredible burden on those who love me.

So. I’m seeking out help. I am owning my mental health. I am learning to accept what this means, and continuing to fight relentless for my right to know peace and happiness.
