Myths about depression

1.  It's a weakness instead of an illness

2.  Highly intelligent people do not get depression

3.  People with depression are "crazy"

4.  There are ethnic groups for whom depression does not occur

No depression is NOT a weakness, depression is an illness like any other.

Highly intelligent people could get depression, why wouldn't they.

Being depressed is NOT you being crazy, only people that are not knowledgeable would believe this to be true.

Mental illness does not discriminate.  I suffer from depression, is it because I'm Latina. NO it's because I have a mental illness.

If you suffer from depression don't hide it.  It's nothing to be ashamed of.  Tried to get help.  If your friends turn their backs on you because you have a mental illness, they not worth your friendship.

Holiday Depression

Holidays and depression.......

The Holidays especially Christmas and New Years are the most depressing holidays.  Well fir me at least.  I know it's a hard holiday to face alone if you suffer from depression.  Not that I personally spend alone, but I still feel depressed. Because of all the love ones I had lost.  

Christmas holiday was always the most joyful for me.  Now it's the saddest. Christmas always been my favorite holiday but now it's tainted buy all those that have loved dearly and have been so very special to me.  Has passed away in December.

So to all those that suffer from depression I still want to say, that I know it could be stuff.  But remember your really never alone that there many people out there going through the same. 

Just try to remember when you had a nice and care free and joyful holiday....

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

Seasons greetings.  

Struggling with mental health issues

These quotes I am about to share are so true on there sayings.  It's remarkable that in this time and age people are still afraid to say they have a mental issue.  And to this day some people still don't go and get help.  Which could lead to a breakdown.  Or worst.  I do understand that your afraid that if you speak up you will get rejected. I understand because that was me.  But now I am more open about my condition.  I say it for the world to hear. We have to speak up and bring awareness to mental health. I now feel that whoever don't want to associate with me because of my mental health issues. It's ok  with  me.  I rather have a dog as a friend then deal with fake people anyway. They say oh she's crazy or the new term oh she's 730.  Who cares what they think.  Are they with you when you feel like you don't have a friend in the world. Are they there when you need a helping hand. Or to pay your bills and help with your problems.  No there not there so why should you care what they thing of you...

Just remember that there are so many other people going thru the same thing we go thru.  That we are not alone.
