I was diagno...Thank you for sharing this, Frances!<br /><br />I was diagnosed with depression a couple of years back, but I was told that I've had it since I was little, only it was manifesting in other symptoms that were shrugged off as "sumpong".<br /><br />One of the worst things I was told was by a person whom I once considered a friend: "There are bigger things in the world than your problems." I was also told to snap out of it and that I'll be okay and "Wala yan!". Useless, useless words. Harmful, even.<br /><br />I've been in that dark, dark place where I honestly wanted to end it all. Talking to friends, family, and doctors, I would always hear, "Isipin mo nalang..." But what I try to explain to them is that when you're in that place, it isn't logical. You don't think about anything else but wanting to die and how to do it. You don't feel anything else but immense pain and sadness. And that oftentimes, you don't even know where the sadness is coming from.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10096113486453704470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-1306513080510990782014-08-13T17:06:49.386+08:002014-08-13T17:06:49.386+08:00what happened to Robin Williams was truly devastat...what happened to Robin Williams was truly devastating and surprising, to be honest. I've always loved him since most of his movies are heartwarming and very funny. I had a close friend who experienced PPD. She shared to me that there was a point that she actually wanted to throw her baby off the stairs. Was just glad that she sought help from a professional right away when I she noticed there was something wrong with her.<br /><a href="http://redberryaha.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Random Beauty by Hollie</a> Holliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05190046746136656953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28615751.post-46660888746742293172014-08-13T12:48:09.902+08:002014-08-13T12:48:09.902+08:00I hear you, Frances.

You don't accept it unless you yourself experience it e.Nerisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09410993243361758558noreply@blogger.com
