Copyright © 2012 Depression is real. So very real. and even though many say 'snap out of it' or 'get over it', I being one of the many who have said it numerous times, now have experienced the very thing I unknowingly mocked. It wasa rude awakening, but a lesson I needed to learn apparently after all the wrong doing I managed in my high school career. I know i'll be okay someday, but till that day comes, i'll regale you on how it all started.... from the very beginning.
