This is not my first blog. I think, actually, that this is the 6th blog that I have started. I have started a weight loss blog, a blog about my family, a blog between me and my therapist...and have found them to be great tools for "getting things out." But this blog has the intention of being a little different. This blog intends to be a bit my honest, a bit more open, and probably a bit more scarey. I am starting this blog with the intention of begin very open and honest, while still anonymous, about my depression and the crazy, dark, and twisted road that it has taken me down.
I was first diagnosed with depression when I was young, maybe 4th grade? That was when I first started to see a therapist. It has had some severe ups and downs since then (more to come in later posts), coming to a peak within the past two years. I have been hospitalized 6 times in 18 months, been on and off various depression and anxiety medications, and even completed 11 rounds of ECT treatment, all in the hopes of a brighter tomorrow. I have found that writing is one of my best outlets, and invite you to pull up a seat, get comfortable, and enjoy the show!
