Living with Depression
Okay, as previously said I have dealt with depression since the age of 23. At 23 I tried to commit suicide, after that day my life went through many ups and downs. I was hit the hardest with the death of my mother one year later when I was 24. That was one of the most difficult things I had to deal with. My mother and I were very close so it was and still is hard to this day. Only recently have I been actually really healthy. I have been consistent with my medications and become involved in exercise. I have also come to the realization that I have depression and there is nothing wrong with that. In the past I was very embarrassed of having depression and the need to take medication. After I overcame that obstacle I was able to start taking care of myself and have seen great improvement in my moods and life.
