Two types of depression

I would kinda like to talk about depression for a moment.

See, I get two very different types of depression, that have very different effects on me, although neither one is fun.

The first type is sadness. "The Blues". When I get this type, I just want to curl up and cry myself to sleep.

But the second type is even worse - anger directed inward, otherwise called self-hate.

That one is more dangerous because if I stay that way too long, I might succumb to the notion that everyone would be better off without me.

Fortunately, I have some weapons in my fight against either type, including faith, my medication, and you guys.

Yes, you guys and gals reading this are incredibly valuable in my struggle.

So I wanted to thank everyone who reads this blog, especially those who have sent supportive messages to me.

I'm very blessed to have you.
