tonight there was a great show on Depression - and what did I learn from it? I learnt to have respect for my condition. I refuse, still, to call it an illness, because by calling it an illness, denotes that I suffer from it...I don't suffer with depression, I live with it...more accurately, I am learning to live with it. I refuse to let it rule my life and I refuse to let it dominate my life!!

I remain open about it...I talk about it and I freely admit that it is part of my life. I no longer let it debilitate me, or I am learning this.

I am very proud of where I am today, it can only get better from here!
