Depression is hard, it's all encompassing sometimes but you can and will fight through the bad times to understand yourself better and understand that good times are just out there waiting for you to grab them when you're feeling better.<br /><br />Love you lady xDream in Greyhttp://www.dreamingingrey.co.uk/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381660091399332098.post-2857179062472788432011-05-03T10:25:22.998+01:002011-05-03T10:25:22.998+01:00For ages I was a didn’t get it person. I had two f...For ages I was a didn’t get it person. I had two friends who had depression – one didn’t really show it – he was a goth and arty type and for a while we thought he was just being dramatic for his art kinda thing, until he threatened to cut his wrists. The second again I didn’t get it, he’d text me saying that he’d spent another night in the waiting area at A+E because he didn’t want to go home in case he hurt himself. <br />Then I had an incident and I got it – a friend of mine had had depression for a little while he seemed to fit it and kinda try and deal with it in his own way – he’d been trying to get help but his GP kept saying that he was just down and it would pass (helpful – NOT!). Having been there stood on the multi storey car park top floor with my friend talking him down I got it, somehow it all fell into place. It was surreal and like an episode of Casualty.<br />Have you been to your GP to see if they can help at all? I know it won’t fix everything and if they do give you pills it’ll take a little while to get used to them but it’s somewhere to start if it gets bad right? I do agree that there is still a stigma attached – both to depression and to mental health issues as a whole. <br />“Faulty” – that’s a pants word! What makes you think you are faulty? (sorry that probably came out the wrong way like a telling off rather than a enquiry) Each of us is different. I know I will never be a size 0 supermodel lol. I’m 5 ft 2 and a bit, I would rather wear my DMs then high heels – even for a night out! I’m overweight and a size 16 (I lost 2 kg in the last few weeks but I think I put it back on again by eating BBQ food and birthday cake yesterday lol). “It takes allsorts to make a world” if we all looked the same life would be really boring – be you! You’re fab sweetie :) Love you to bits! (And can’t wait to meet you in person one day!)<br /><br />Sorry epic comment!Hanhttp://rockangel.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6381660091399332098.post-7342594635683727132011-05-01T16:22:05.605+01:002011-05-01T16:22:05.605+01:00Yeah, I can empathise with a lot of this.

There is NO quick fix and people who tell you to "snap out of it" have no clue what it's like to suffer from depression. <br /><br />I hate that there's still such a stigma attached to depression even though I'm sure about 80% of the people I know have suffered from depression (to different extents) at some point in their lives. <br /><br />*hugs* to you, lass. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
