Solitude.

Whether you've wrestled depression for years, are just beginning to embark on the journey, are recovering, or are trying not to slip back...

I just want you to know that you're not alone.
Depression is a monster. And one of the worst "tricks" is the lie that no one will understand. To tell you that you're alone.
You. Are. Not. Alone.

And depression devours when you try to deal with it alone.

Just something that's been on my mind. As I'm trying not to slip again.

Comments? Support?

I am in the position of trying not to slip back. It is getting difficult. I am not alone but can feel so alone with it. One of my friends on facebook posted about her struggles with depression in light of Robin Williams and she was very honest and unashamed. I decided to reply and was also very honest and unashamed. I may do my own seperate post. She didn't get much of a response though. People seem to shy away from the topic.
