Reblogging because without Samaritans these past few days I probably wouldn’t be here.
I’m jealous beyond all compare of people who are ignorant about depression
The idea of having absolutely no concept what this feels like is so unimaginable and mindblowing

Reblogging in the wake of such awful news about Wales manager Gary Speed. Even if you don’t have depression, awareness and an open mind can and does save lives.

It’s National Depression Screening Day. Please read Rob Delaney’s great piece on what depression is and how it can be survived.
A truly wonderful piece written by the very funny, very talented, and very sexy Rob Delaney.

My name is Kimberly.
I am 16 years old. From the USA.
I was raised in an abusive home. My mother was a crack/heavy drug addict. It ruined our lives. At the age of 11 she started prostituting me for her drug money. The first time was very disturbing and scary, after it happening a lot it became something normal for me, but left me with heavy scars as I grew older. My dad is an alcoholic, too drunk to ever know what was going on in our own house. What started my eating disorder was that a couple of times the ‘customers’ (for my mom) would call me ‘fat’, ‘ugly’, ‘chunky’, and other hurtful words and insults. My depression came shortly after. As well as PTSD. I began self harming because I felt empty, like no one could ever love me. Only use me. I then turned to drugs for happiness and an escape. I over dosed and collapsed in the street. I awoke in a hospital and was told a man who witnessed it called an ambulance. Because of all the bruises and cuts I had on my body they interrogated me about my life. I was completely honest with them which made my parents loose custody of me and leading to me having to go to a foster home. I am now in a foster home with overly religious views, but it’s better than the past life I was living. I no longer due drugs and am a recovering self harmer and anorexic/bulimic.

Sometimes all it takes is a stranger.
Don’t judge those of us with mental illness. This incredible young woman is a perfect example of why.
