Life with an obstacle course

Life is often like running an obstacle course. This is especially true when you have depression. I know that people with depression are still stigmatized in society, and you’re not supposed to put it out there that you have it. But what kind of life do you lead when something that is so consuming, overwhelming, and overbearing refuses to be stuffed in the back of the closet like society says it needs to be.

Over the next several posts I am going to define how several areas of my life are affected by having depression and anxiety. Now my anxiety is not nearly as bad as my depression is, but lately it’s been flaring up. A few of the areas of life I want to discuss are Love, Work, Friendship, Religion, and Motherhood.

I want to get these right, and I want to go through my thoughts on each of them thoroughly, so if it takes me a few days just bear with me. The end result will be worth it I promise.
