Reading that made my heart ache. At least here, we know it is real.
"My life has been stolen" is the same words I used during my depression. I am not clinically depressed anymore, but I have not forgotten; even when you come out of it, your life isn't the same.

I shared it with a very restricted list. Which made me very sad. But I could not share it with my whole friends list, because it includes coworkers, donors, former and future colleagues and employers...and to share this true story and the reality of MI would get me blacklisted for sure. So as much as I wanted to stop the stigma...I can't even do it because of what will happen to me if I do. Heck, my employer might try to fire me...(although that would be an ADA violation for sure).
