Having depression is like being mugged by five different people: hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, self-loathing and demoralization. Once depression had me, I became its prisoner.
Discussing my depression and other mental health conditions is terrifying for me. I hate seeming vulnerable and I hate being labeled.
