Depression Update

[wirralbagpuss]

Just a quick update on my ongoing battle with my depression, as i know  bugeyedmonster posted with my permission of course about my previous public post about my depression. So i wanted to let anyone who had read it know how things are progressing. Things are still like a pendulum at the moment, but i am seeking treatment for it at the moment. And this time i hope to have a proper management plan in place and counselling as well.  I will let you know how i get on in the next few days with those developments.

But as i said in my earlier post about this fight of mine,  please do seek help if you are in the same postion. This is not an illness you can treat yourself. It will only get worse. You do need support from friends, family, medical people or a counsellor. I am very fortunate in having some friends who have been so supportive in the last few months, well alot of the last several months really. Real friends sit down and talk to you and discuss things and stand by you when you are at your lowest. they certaintly dont dismiss your depression!  I am privelledged to have such good friends.

I know i can beat this. And with the help i will be getting i know the stormy seas will be calming soon, well i hope so. May take some time though i have to confess. it wont be an overnight quick fix. But i do have my beacons on the stormy seas, my anchors, and to my friends i want to thank you for your love and support. it means so much to me. Thank you.

I really must say that I am in awe over the amount of hope and courage that you are able to inspire with so few words.

I only hope that you will be keeping some for yourself. Wishing you the best of luck. :)

Thank you very much. I hope that having overcome the biggest challenge i had to face last year by "comming out" for want of a better word and revealing to the world about my depression. I did this for a number of reasons. But in doing so i want to share this with people and break the taboo and ignorance i know still exists about this illness. By sharing, i hope i can help others who face the same thing and can get help.
