The One Thing I Know For Certain About My Depression
Author: siggyThe one thing I know for certain about my depression is this: it will end. That is no small discovery. Sometimes I can figure out why and sometimes not, but one thing I know for certain it will end. Yes, I still have periods of them. Maybe, I am fortunate my spells of depression do not usually last more than a few hours. There were times in my life when this was not true: they went on for weeks and months at a time and now the spells of depression I have usually do not last more than several hours. I have to take meds although none of them are anti-depressants. One of them is a mood stabilizer. When in the throes of depression it is like being in a deep well and it is so dark you can not see the sides and the light but I am always comforted by the knowledge the depression will lift. I just don’t know exactly when.
