Depression. Don't Suffer Alone.

I just finished watching this TED talk on depression.
Last night I stayed up and didn't go bed so I could write a short (6-7 pg) autobiography of depression in my adolescence and how it shaped me into who I am today.
I haven't written in my blog for awhile and so it feels strange to write. I'm thinking about you who might read my blog. It might be Mom, or one of my sisters. There are likely many of you who read but I'll never know. That's ok, I try to keep it short for your sake.
Take 30 minutes and watch this video. I wasn't going to and then I did. It was worth it.
Do not suffer alone. We live here together, not separate.
I really was hoping for more profound quality in writing this. Maybe some other day that will happen.
