I Battle Depression

Hello Everyone,

My name is Jacquie, and I have battled depression most of my life. It took years for me to recognize it, especially when I got into adult hood, thinking I had grown out of the extreme shifts in mood which is so common in the teen and young adult years.

I am 48 now, and if you are willing to talk to someone my age, I am a good listener and often give advice – but carefully. I respect how destructive depression can be, and do not have any standard answers, but I will be faithful to tell you what worked for me.

Is that ok ?

So, with that , let's lock arms together, and see if we can help each other.

kindly,
Jacquie

You seem genuine in your quest to help others, which is refreshing here. I confess, I mulled over your "about me", and I was intrigued by all that you do for you and your community. I was a little exhausted, just thinking about it.lol I do admire folks like you though, and I just want to say, good on ya. I have watched depression like a river, wind and flow through my family, ripping and eroding the the steep banks along the way, and still...we manage to stay afloat, don't we? With help of course. It's nice to see someone like yourself, lending a hand, and possibly helping some of us from an almost certain drowning, if not for life preservers like yourself. Thanks to you and people like you, for all that you do.
