Have you ever been depressed?

Depression is a strange thing. You don't really think about it, but it can totally consume you and everything you do.

My first experience happened many years ago, before my son was born. I would climb into the shower to get ready for work, and all of a sudden I would be standing under the water, sobbing uncontrollably. That went on for quite a while, until I couldn't handle it anymore. I finally went to the doctor and asked for help.

Depression takes its toll on your own mind and body. You may not even realize it's happening, but it is...

I have an Eating Disorder

I have an eating disorder and I am not afraid to admit it.

I have put my family through hell because of it, but it controlled me, I did not control it.

Unless you have been there, and done that, you cannot say that you understand the power these things have over the human mind and body.

I live with these urges every day of my life...

History Coming Back

Each day, I live with things that have happened in my past. There are so many things that I have gone through that I have never shared with anyone.

It's things like this that seem to haunt me each day.

When I get angry or frustrated, I want to disappear, or crawl into a hole. In the past, I used to inflict pain upon myself, to take away from the pain inside.

Physical pain always seems to override the mental and emotional pains.

It only hurts for a little bit.
