Depression began for me when I was about 3. Thats when mom and dad divorced. Then I lived with one or the other until I was 8, living with mom. She was severely injured in an accident and I then left to live with dad. His wife hated me. Until I was 14 I lived with her and avoided her the best I could until I moved back to moms and began partying like a damm fool. From there it kinda goes downhill for a long time. Ive been working on myself all along the way to now. Im employed, enjoy my work and those I work with. Im not sad all the time, but sometimes, and I get angry occasionally. I need to vent when Im alone in my car. Screaming, cursing, but its over in a few moments and then Im all right. Not as peaceful as I want to be but getting there. Im curious about what makes our minds tick. What motivates us to do what we do and how we can learn to do good for ourselves instead of harm. Hopefully reading and interacting with you will help me understand. Thanks for taking time and reading.
