living with depression

My depression coexists with my gratefulness, compassion, and good intentions. I am blessed, yes, but I am also depressed.

Depression is difficult to live with, alone, or in a couple.

We anxiety sufferers are good at covering up how we’re really feeling. You are not alone.

For the last six years, I have been living with depression. Despite the fact that I have extremely low moments when there is an inexplicable and unreachable pain inside me that demotes me into a sobbing, self-harming, low self-esteemed shell of the person that I actually am, there are a number of ways that living with (not suffering from) depression has improved my life and made me a better human being.
