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.

Next Phase!
Yes, I'm still alive and well! I have been intending to report how the next phase of recovery is going, but alas, I am only now actually doing it. Here is what's happening...
I have been beyond depression now for over a year and a half. Passionate to help other suffering people find the light out of the darkness of depression, I took the Nedley training course to become a director for the Nedley Depression Recovery Program. In October, we started our first 8-week program and we are now on week 7. We have a small group of people who are coming and who are giving wonderful success stories. Recovery is a process, but any little bit of success along the way is so exciting as it gives more and more hope.
If you have not yet checked into the Nedley Depression Recovery program, which you can take online or even at home by buying the DVD set and books, I encourage you to go to www.drnedley.com to check it out. In fact, right now might be a good time. It works!!
