She blogs so I'll send her over here. She's a new mom and I think she will be encouraged by your writing. It has helped me to pray on target for her as you write the Indigo files.Beverlydruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076952202754480892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4012421380817438043.post-49083766082014295332010-09-18T08:01:55.824-05:002010-09-18T08:01:55.824-05:00I, too, suffer from depression.

For most of my life I'd try to stave off the depression with exercise, but I finally got to the point where I realized I'd have to be running non-stop -- it just wasn't as effective anymore. <br /><br />I had resisted drugs for so long, but when I finally made the decision, it was a life-changing one. I tried to come off the meds once, about 3 years ago -- never again. I have totally accepted the fact that I have a chronic medical condition not much different from any other, and I will probably take medication for it for the rest of my life. <br /><br />I think you are doing a great service here -- writing opening and honestly about depression. There is still a stigma attached to it. And stories like yours will help bring more understanding to the disease.Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.com
