So I think I should start by introducing myself: a 19 year old female who has been 'suffering' from clinical depression since I was 16. If you met me, you wouldn't know. Only my nearest and dearest do.
I live a normal life: I have a fully functional family, an amazing long-term boyfriend, friends all over the place and I am at University. So lets clear it up... not suicidal, not 'emo', not self-harming, as far as I see it, I have an illness. An illness which I means I cannot get through the day without medication. Aside from this illness in my brain, I am a very happy, healthy, regular woman.
But thats not to say I wasn't once 'emo', suicidal, or self-harmed. I may have done. The point is everyone suffers with depression in different, but equally valid ways. I've started this blog so I can share with you the honest truths of what I go through, and I hope that maybe one day I can help others.
I'm not here to judge, force upon you any of my opinions, preach or upset anyone... I'm merely here to keep a diary of my life.
