I sometimes write my posts in present tense, as if the experiences to which I refer are happening now. I do this for two reasons:
- I think it makes the post more powerful. And even though it might not be happening at the moment, it was very real and true.
- There may be readers who are currently experiencing what I am sharing from my story. I hope this gives a sense of “you are not alone.”
These are my stories of my journeys through depression. While I am not licensed nor trained to give depression advice, I do think that we can learn from each other as we share our experiences and what has or hasn’t worked in our lives. I may tag some of my posts with “depression advice” just so that readers can find depression helps that worked for me.
And your experiences (and willingness to share what you have learned and persevered) are powerful!

The most comfort is from the caring words of one who you know has traveled the same path.
