But your imagery is still largely true. Most of the time, I am about 90% recovered. It is more like a virus that recurs every so often. Doug.

I have also inherited depression & it still goes down the line, my nephew has depression.I am sad to say I am a 30 year old woman that does not want to have a child, because I would not want anyone to every go through what I have gone through. I know that might never happen but I would never forgive myself if it did happen. It kills me to even think of anyone else in this world wanting to die, thinking they have no way out in this life, or feeling worthless. I over think EVERYTHING. |
