Welcome to Depression Recovery

Welcome to the Depression Recovery blog! If you suffer with depression or love someone who does, you have come to the right place for encouragement and practical help. I am not a health professional, but I know the darkness of major depression and the crippling effects of anxiety and OCD that often accompany it. Living with depression, I masked my way through daily life, waking each morning feeling as though someone had died and then realizing....it was me. Perhaps you agree that a fitting definition of major depression is death without the benefit of being unconscious. If that sounds a little dramatic, then that's good. If it sounds painfully accurate, then you've come to the right place, because I also know what recovery is! Take heart, friend. I invite you to read my blog from the beginning post and onward as I have logged my progress (and lack of it sometimes), and have not only spotted the light at the end of the tunnel, but have emerged into its presence!

I invite you to email me at simmonsmg@wildblue.net if you have questions or comments as you read.

PROGRESS!

I just want to mention that if anyone is following this blog, I am very happy to have you leave comments or email me if you are depressed and have questions about any of this program that I'm implementing.
I also want to mention that my walk with the Lord is so important in this process, so I will be mentioning that as I go along since this is about my own progress. If anyone who may be reading my blog is not a believer in God or in Christianity, I hope you won't be discouraged from still walking along with me on this journey. There are many practical things (aside from spiritual ones) that can help you. So you can just pick and choose. And who knows, maybe even the spiritual will help you too. Let's face it, if you have depression, you already believe in hell. Perhaps you can find help in a belief in heaven as well. :-) Okay, just wanted to report my wonderful news about my sleep improvement! Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z
