So I have delt with depression since around the age of 13 I would say. When I was younger my parents put me on meds for it but i stopped taking them. My depression isnt an all the time thing it just comes and goes. Until about 4 years ago I about couldnt deal with it. I would think about suicide but I was always to scared to do it because of one thing. i didnt want to hurt the people in my life. I didnt want to cause them pain. I didnt care about my own pain but it wasnt fair to them. I am glad that I never went through with it. Then about 2 years ago I started attending a new church and saw a different light on things. Before I always felt like a bad person because I was depressed at times but it doesnt matter becuase God loves me anyhow. I have learned to pray when things do go good.
There are times when I feel myself slip into a place I dont want to be and I have trouble totally overcoming it to this day. However things are so much better. I talk to God about my problems and when I get negative thoughts in my head I just pray about them.

Well that is kind of my story about depression :) thanks for reading
