Overview

I figured that I would write this blog partially because I want to put down my thoughts about depression, and partially because I have realized that there really are a lot of people who have depression like me, and can relate to what I have felt. Depression isn't that simple. There is more then one way to feel depressed, which can be hard for people without depression to understand. I decided to try to chronicle my battle with depression so that maybe others with depression can relate, or those without depression can gain some understanding.
