Just Being Human

Today has been one of those days that has seemed to be exceptionally stressful. I know everyone has them, but it seems I have had a lot of them recently. The longer the day has gone the worse it has gotten. These are the days of our lives and how they go. No ones day is perfect. I guess I am speaking to myself as much as anyone else. These are the types of things that I write about. I have written about the things that has been happening around me and to the people know, or have taken care of, and love.

Depression is a real thing. Don't ever think that it's just you or that you are alone. My family lost a friend this January do to suicide. It ways on me. It makes me wonder what they were thinking of when they took that step to take their life. Why? I myself have dealt with depression off and on since before my father-in-law passed away. It started with panic disorder and moved right into depression. These disorders go hand in hand. There are people out there that thinks depression is something ;made up as they never experience it. I assure you that it isn't.

Last year I didn't have such a hard time. I really don't know why. This year however, from the time changed especially has been difficult. People's bodies are like plants. They crave sunlight to nourish them. When the days are short and there is little to no sunlight it leaves us feeling depleted. If you suffer from it you know what I mean.

If you know someone that suffers from depression, stop and think about what you say or how you react to them. Life isn't easy for anyone and for those who suffer from major , or seasonal depression take things much harder.
