I guess it is important to not identify myself with the depression. It is something I have not who I am. I struggle with this. I always call it MY depression like it is me. It is hard because I think about it so dang much. It seems like depression is all I think about. How it is effecting me, what I should be doing to treat it, med side effects, etc etc. It can be all encompassing.
It is not who I am it is a disease I have. I need to work on that.
