7 Quick Takes This week:: The Challenge of Clinical Depression
Every week has it’s ups and
downs. I’m fighting an ongoing battle with depression. I have to
remember there are good days and bad days whether you have this illness
or not. I have to acknowledge that depression is a mental illness. To
have your mind be infected with such a disease is not something about
which anyone should be embarrassed. Depression, like all illnesses, is
real. It is something I feel in my body and in my mind. My body hurts,
at times, because of this illness. My mind suffers from the sorrow.
I’ve controlled this disease for 3 years, now, there has been a flare
up. As with any illness, is time to explore more treatment options. I
need strategies to cope with my days. I have to hold my head high when
people shake their heads and say, “Get over it. It’s all in your
head.” Yes, it IS in my head. Everything begins in the brain. Right
now, my brain is sick. Like any other organ is not functioning
properly, I need treatment. I am finally treating this disease with
both homeopathic and pharmaceutical remedies. I am also treating this
disease with therapy. I am beginning to feel better. God is good.
