DON'T QUIT
by Unknown Poet
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.
- Unknown

The worse thing for me is how depression is vicious circle. I don't feel like working out and getting OUT OF THE HOUSE more and that aggravates the depression even more!
Plus I get so sensitive to what others think about me, it's terrible.
In my family, depression is a sign of mental weakness and you're not supposed to talk about it. Isn't that terrible? And if we, as women, have had babies, we're in need of talking/venting even more than anything else! I was so happy to hear Tipper Gore mention her experience with depression and really rooting for more awareness and funding for mental health issues. That woman has the sunniest smile, and it was so inspiring to see that she has had to really pick herself up out of the dumps during bad times. It makes me feel like there is hope for me. I've gone through ups and downs. I've been at very low points in my life.
I just wanted to share that with everyone, so you would know that I understand how hard it is.
