@blue99 The effort can be small steps at a time, and as we look back at the journey, we see how we are feeling better, and better able to cope/deal with things. It is difficult to open up to people about things like depression, isn't it? We are afraid to be labeled or judged, looked at with a magnifying glass, watched closely, or having someone ask us inappropriate questions. It takes a brave person to see who we can open up to, and here i am applauding you for taking that step!
