Chronic depression is the devastating consequence of your brain turning on you. It poisons the way you see yourself and the world. It blocks acceptance of the way those you care about see you, making fertile ground for low self-esteem and the darkest of thoughts.
The pain of depression is like no other. It’s a wall. A cave. A prison. A tunnel that seems endless. A pain that must end because it saps the life from you.
We are a culture that shames—body type, skin color, lifestyle, weakness. This makes depression difficult to admit and hard to uncover. People must be willing to care, to love, to try to understand and always to ask.
