It has its moment...It's a never-ending battle. It has its moments of peace, but the darkness is always waiting in the shadows. The people who love you will help get you through the tough times. I have a box I put my treasures in, things that remind me of what makes life sweet and worth fighting for. Quotes, pictures, letters... anything that has a special meaning.

Thankfully, I don't suffer with depression personally but do suffer with depression with some of the closest people in my life.<br />It is so difficult when those you love are saddled with depression - Because I, myself, have not had to deal with this incredible sadness - in the past I have had a tough time relating to or understanding the deep rooted sadness that overcomes the beautiful souls I love. From the outside, it can be frustrating - desperately wanting to help bridge the two roads to find some common ground yet unable to break through the hard shell of depression. What I've come to understand is that all we can really do is LOVE them through it. To never give up. When they pull away, you pull closer. When they close the door, you open the window. When they shut down, you shut up and give them the space they need to find their way back... but you don't go away, you CANNOT take it personally, you send them LOVE, always LOVE, love them harder, love them longer, love them through. I love you, KP... keep spreading the love and joy and together we will make it through.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01367586570056280824noreply@blogger.com
