I appear so competent, outgoing and bright. Yet, I’ve been severely depressed since childhood. I’m on meds, need to get back into therapy once insurance/income kicks in. It’s an invisible illness, so people have difficulty sympathizing. I have family who’ve been afflicted, as well, so I now believe it is chemical (learned that my great-grandfather committed suicide). My suicidal tendencies are not daily when I am on medication. I do not wish to hear from/about the pros and cons of medication. What I need is encouragement.
