I can't believe people are saying such things to you...Therese you are beautiful, and have nothing to prove...I love you and your videos. You are such a help to soo many people. Keep it up and remember you are perfect the way you are. Dont make people who tell you that you arn't sad "enough" keep you sad!

"So---some folks need you to show them your deepest pain? Know that even EVERYTHING is never enough for some folks & you ultimately owe them NOTHING. How self-absorbed for anyone to "grade" your level of depression. I guess that's just proof of the lonliness in misery. You are a Light. Sharing as you feel comfortable helps others & most importantly helps YOU. Self-disclose as you feel the need. If some random Internet stranger needs more, (s)he should go to group or counseling really."

I've been suffering since early childhood. Everyday is a struggle, you have to find a reason to fight to live. About 3 years ago, I was at my lowest, and began to walk the train tracks, I was stopped before i could end my life. I then met the love of my life. I was in love, true love, and I wanted to marry her. Sure I was still slightly depressed, but she made it tolerable. That was till she recently left me. It's back to fighting for my life again...and I'm tired of fighting the good fight...

I actually was having an "attack" and was crying and wanted to show my boyfriend of about two years. I basically looked the way she did and was so ashamed that after I recorded the video of showing him how I am when I feel D, I just deleted it. I was too embarrassed to show him. It's hard explaining it to people without scaring them..

It's interesting... I went on a raw foods diet (veg. fruit, nuts, seeds) ...started rebounding and lost weight... taking my medications as directed and not drinking... I thought that once I got to this stage I'd have no more problems. It was mostly the drinking that I thought would solve everything (once I quit) but the disease doesn't go away... sometimes I forget what it feels like when I haven't gone through it in a while and then *crash* I'm reminded. Thank you!
