I Suffer From Depression.

Depression. i always attributed my depression as symptomatic. "i don't suffer from DEPRESSION. depression symptoms are situational. i'm depressed because i just had a baby. i'm depressed because of anxiety. i'm depressed because of life changes." i never wanted to accept a diagnosis of DEPRESSION. because it would mean to me, admitting that i am not in control of my feelings, of moods, of myself. it would mean feeling completely lost and not in control.
