I got to 50yrs and finally threw the towel in and sought help, I decided I deserved the best life I could get. Now at 64, I happily take my medication (having tried to wean myself off a few times .. with medical advice on how to do so ... and eventually came to the conclusion that medication was the only way forward. I refuse to feel embarrassed or awkward about talking on this issue .. it is only going to be an accepted illness if we stop hiding. I still get depressed sometimes, as does everyone, I am not living in a fantasy bubble, but I am much better able to cope with the ups and downs of life. Best wishes to you, and thank you for the Little Sailors gift :)Mollynoreply@blogger.com
