A long while ago, I was diagnosed with severe depression. At my worst point, I overdosed on pain killers. I wasn't trying to kill myself though (most people assume that). I just wanted to get away from what was hurting me.

Since then Ive grown quite a bit. I find that I have lots to live for, my husband, my kitties, my party family.

I find that talking with people and even just being with people that you share something in common with can help a lot. I think the best thing for me is knowing that I'm not alone.

It's good that you recognise the problem now, and are willing to take steps to correct it before it gets out of hand. I made the mistake of thinking that if I ignored it, it would go away.
