the below post does not mean I am sitting here like a wreck.
Thank you peoples for the replies to my below blog, both the comments on here and the emails. Really appreciated alot.
I just want to say to no one in particular that even though I am now choosing to write about this, it does not mean I am sat here like a wreck. Not right now anyway ; )
Life gets tough. It is tough. But I am a fighter. Some days I dont fight the fight quite as well as others, but you know, when I came to a turning point in my life, at 16, just as I left school with not many qualifications, I made a decision. To work hard, to work really hard. And that is what I have done, I have worked hard, to do the things I have wanted to do, and to get to where I am. To get qualifications and on the whole be proud of some of the things I have achieved.
Yes, depression can rule peoples lives, and sometimes it does seem to get on top of me, and take over, but I have spent my life time, or as long as I can remember not wanting this to define me.
Not allowing it to define who I am. If that makes sense.
I am still a person.
And, even with depression I am a person who can have fun, who can enjoy, who can work a job
I am still a person who can have wonderful days like today, shopping, eating, having face masks and chilling.
