Deliverance from Depression: Introduction to My Journey
Depression. What is it exactly? It is in our human nature to seek answers. Can depression be defined (and confined) within a definition entry?
Depression can be as deadly as a terminal disease. It develops somehow inside our minds and starts to eat away at us. Have you ever been depressed or know someone going through depression? YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Today I am finally ready to start sharing my journey battling depression. I am a survivor. And I will tell you my story. So, read on.
Though I am not certain where to begin, I know I do have to start somewhere ... So I will write from a remembrance as it resurfaces: a situation, a feeling, a smell, a sight, a song ...
As we partake of this journey, you will be my companion, and I, yours. A journey of discovery, of startling insights, of unexpected awareness. But, most of all, a journey with a goal: ongoing rescue and deliverance from depression into a life lived to the fullest.
Together we will learn, cry, laugh, and discover some amazing truths that will be our compass on this trail toward HOPE and JOY.
As you learn about me and my experiences, I encourage you to also think about yourself and your own journey.
And you are welcome to share your heart with me and others if you so wish.
This will be a mother-blog with a fruitful offspring of little posts ... So, here we go! ...
