Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Hello folks,
In the old days I was known by another name here. Now am yet again taking on a change. Anyway my friends will know me from my writing style and that part of my name that I always retain.
Now to the business at hand. I have started yet another new job. It has been my dream job. I'm now a "Park Ranger." Granted it's currently only temporary and a part time job. But still it holds great promise as well as challenges. And on to other challenges too. A couple weeks ago my cousin had his prostate removed. The cancer that once claimed our grandfather has visited itself on my cousin as well. His prognosis is good. He is not even yet 60 years old. Just recently after having some bloodwork I was informed that my PSA had spiked from .5 to 5.5. It is not high enough to be a sure sign of cancer. So in about a week I will have more bloodwork. Ifor it's still high then I'll be checked further. And if it is prostate cancer I will choose as my cousin did. I will choose life. Yet again depression might seem to have a chance to gain a stronghold. And yet again it will lose. I will not give in. I will fight for every precious minute of my life. I hope you folks will stand with me. Let's keep depression defeated. Lets choose a better future. All my best to you all.

You're strong and I know how that depression monster can rear it's ugly head, but we'll fight it every time and WIN. You know I've got you . Always. Love you my precious friend. Xxoo
