i have been suffering from depression since i was 10, im 18 now. so thats 8 years...8 long painful years. i use to be able to handle it (when i was little i "manned" up, telling myself i am a big boy and that big boys don't cry or show pain....so i didn't) until recently though, the great defense i set up; my way of thinking has be broken (for the better i guess) i use to look down on everyone else. now i don't, i now have some humility in my life. but now that my walls are broken..i gotta say...it hurts
