Conquering My Depression
Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 6:34 pm
Hi, I"m new here on the Depression forums and I wanted to reach out to people who understand what it is that I'm going through. For most of my life Depression has controlled the way I eat, the way interact, and even the way I think. I'm 26 and I've had two suicide attempts. When I was about eight or nine years old I was sexually assaulted by someone that I knew and it left emotional scars on me that I didn't want to deal with and as a result I kept a lot of my feelings bottled in.
Those feelings caused me to hurt people whom I didn't want to hurt. I just quit my job because my job driving me to the point of emotional insanity. When I left, I felt so happy! It was the most joyous moment I'd had in years because I finally got to do something for myself.
Right now, I am fighting a battle against depression and I want to share my experiences with people so that they don't feel so alone and so that I can know that I am not alone.
I just released a book called The Depression Chronicles which is the first of three books that talk about my experiences with depression.
I am on the verge of conquering my depression and I will do it. I shall overcome and I want everyone like me to know and believe that they can do it, too.
