  • ive been down the same track, its not easy but when you have good family for support, it gives you confidence to look foward to the future, the right medication helps you get back om track which you shouldnt be ashamed of because heaps of people are on medication for different reasons,depression is a head thing which people cant see and cant understand not like a broken arm you have a cast on it so people see whats wrong. be proud
