We all have to fight one way or another, and you are doing a great job of it. I wish I too could deal with it better, but when it takes ahold, i find it hard to fight back...I write alot about my depression, and I find it helps some..take care..Mary I too often hide behind my shadow, my shadow of depression as I express in a poem I wrote.

But you are using a form of "Positive Affirmation" whenever you feel your depression hits you deal with it by telling yourself you won't let it take over. This is a classic form of cognitive therapy and I find this helps me alot too! However as I don't have many true friends I trust at this moment in time, what I tend to do is write down my thoughts and feelings and let them out this way.

As far as i am concerned, basic understanding of the disease with let you know what you really need to do. For me, after the cure in a psychology healthy center, i begin to express my past painful experience to my friends when it is possible. And i think that it is a good way to release my pressure. On the other hand, when i am in trouble, i always say it to my friends or myself, i would not let myself stay in the depression state for a long time.

I am really pleased you have come out of this a stronger person and no doubt those friends you take about will realise that too! You are very lucky to have people you call true friends, I on the other hand don't think my friends would have much interest in hearing what I am going through. Sometimes it takes a moment of sanity to really understand who your real friends are. Depression has a way of making you hide away from the world and those around you.

After entering college, i do not contact any senior school classmates, beacuse i suffered from anxiey and depression. After years of therapy, i was recovered on the whole last year. However,i also did not want to contact my friends, i cannot face the reality. Since this May, i began to contact my friends and told them what happened to me. They forgave me and we are good friends now. I want to be your friends. I also had the experience.
