I’m proud of myself for owning my battle with major depression. For being able to educate people around me about it. I live in a small, I could almost say “undeveloped” part of the world. I’m not afraid to face people with the facts. And that makes me feel better. It’s ok to talk about your mental illness and medication intake. People around me are becoming more understanding every day. I’m grateful. #inform #Depression

When you react to something simple that you know will cause you more pain or suffering and someone calls you selfish, ornery, or overreacting, how do you respond to diffuse the tension, and yet still properly inform that person about how your bad health makes you look at things differently?
