Depression is a dark thing

Most people within the UK suffer with depression. Mind release a survey every 7 years stating the statics for mental health and would you be shocked if I said that in 2016 3.3 in 100 people are diagnosed with depression. Now think how many people live on your street, how many haven’t told any one and living in silence about it.

I have suffered from depression since I was about 15. It never gets any easier per-say you just become better at understanding it. When I first got diagnosed they offer me antidepressants but they turned me in to a zombie, I didn’t want to get out of bed or do anything. Eating was a chore and something I didn’t do. I came off them after about 4 months later.

Since than I have just found other ways to cope and deal, I have struggled at times and it occasionally lead to me doing silly things but I always brought myself back to reality.
