So after goodness knows how long, I remembered I have a blog. I'm off work with depression (again) and one of the things that is helping me through the days at the moment are the honest blogs of other people living with mental illness. So I thought I might try and have a go myself at writing a bit about what living with depression is like, what helps and my thoughts about mental health.
It is a bit scary exposing myself and my illness to the world, the old fears of people not believing I'm really ill or not wanting to be around me are always there. But I have such good support from those close to me, I know nothing I write will affect how they feel about me. I hope that by writing a bit about how things are for me, it might help other people understand a bit better and make the world a more understanding place for others with the same difficulties.
I'm out of energy now, but I'll write more soon.
