Depression

I'm telling my story today because I believe it is one that should be heard. My story begins with when I met my son's father. Eventually, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and depression.

To stay calm and at ease, you have to find time for yourself and always try to stay positive. It really does help. Do things that make "You" feel good. I love swimming. Epsom salt baths, eating fruits and veggies, too. Whatever is good for you and remember to rest! We all need that!

I have been battling depression since I was 15 years young. I am 34 years young now and no medication has agreed with me. I was taking about 10 different kinds of medications; some made me not want to eat while others would give me bad anxiety and that feeling as if my heart were pounding.

My depression began on August 26, 2015. That's the day I went to prison. The judge sentenced me to 2 years but I only served one year. While I was locked up, I was the head cook in the dining hall and was also in the prison gospel choir.

I am an epileptic with bipolar disorder who was diagnosed with depression and suffers from PTSD as a result of various situations throughout my life. Since my birth all the way up until now (I am currently 27) it has not been in any way 'easy' living. Each day with this is very hard, exhausting and can at times be very confusing, as I'm sure anyone could imagine.

I encourage anybody that's going through depression to seek help. I have been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder for about 6 years. It's when your mood goes up and down and it's a problem. I noticed that when my mood went down it went to a really scary place. I was feeling hopeless and almost to the point of killing myself.
