The Problem With Depression

I can not stress enough how true these words are.  I have never been diagnosed with depression, nor has anyone in my family.  However, my husband and his family have dealt with severe depression for many, many years.  To watch someone you love simply quit life is devastating.  It's not something that can be worked through quickly.  It unfolds slowly, one thing leading to another, before cratering completely.  With help, people can rebound but it's a slow journey upward into the light.  If you or someone you love deals with depression, please get help.  My husband saw a medical professional who put him on medication and I went through counseling with another.  There is no shame in being on either side.  Know that you are not alone.  There is help.  You can get through it - one step at a time.
