A lot of you may have noticed that I am an off again, on again blogger. I want to say that it is not because I lack interest or that I am lazy. I suffer from a disease called Major Depressive Disorder with Anxiety. I am also med resistant. What does med resistant mean? Well, my body does not respond to anti-depressants as a normal person would. It takes a lot of testing of different meds and sometimes combining them.
I am not coming out about my depression because I want people to feel sorry for me. I am coming out with my depression because I know there are many people who sit in silence, afraid of what people may think. I did this for many, many years. After awhile it becomes difficult to hide. You can only come up with so many excuses as to why you can’t go to work or go out with your friends.
I do not know if I am making a mistake about coming out with my disease. My only hope is that I am able to let someone know suffering from this “thing” that they are not alone, and that I am in their corner.
As for my blog, well I have been working all this week on it. My hope is to come back big and strong next week. And I want to thank all of you for listening. You are a great auidence, and I am grateful to have you following me.
Thank you.
Erica
