My extremely long post about Depression...
I am posting this because I have had a very disturbing conversation with someone earlier today about depression. I felt compelled to put her in her place after hearing several ignorant remarks from her. To put it plain and simple, she mentioned that a mutual friend of ours is going through depression.

I was just writing that because I just wanted to jot down how I feel and what I've learned from first-hand experience. I know what it's like. A lot of people go through it and experience it themselves and yet...there are still people out there who seem to think that it's something that someone can simply snap out of. That it's just a phase they are going through. Parents sometimes label children as anti-social, aloof or lazy because they don't seem to understand that it's not a phase, it's not a 'goth' trend or something, it's an illness that if not treated, could lead to worse things.

Be well m'dear.
Take care.
