Depression can be a chain around your neck keeping you back while life passes you by. I don't know about you, but that sounds depressing to me! That's why I use positive thinking and humor to stave off depression. It turns out that I am highly sensitive to meds so I cannot use them to treat this illness. However, with all the side effects those meds can cause that may be a blessing in disguise for me. I thank God for helping me see how to change the way I think to keep the bite of depression from sinking in too deep. I may never shake off depression completely, but with the proper attitude I am better able to manage it.
