I suffer with depression. Sometimes I want to take my life because
of the downward spiral that I find myself in. In this book, I
explain the basis of my depression, and how I've manage to live
through it. I write 'manage' because people suffering with
depression don't actually 'live' a life. They survive, they grind
and they 'hold on'. For those coping with depression, life is a
constantly a struggle, and for some, it can be a losing struggle.
This is the story of my life. It's about my experience of living
with depression, but it's not a step-by-step guide on how to live
with depression. In fact, I'm not sure you can "beat" depression or
be cured from depression. This is a story of how one person living
with depression gets through their days and long, long nights. The
chapters are organized in chronological order through my school
years, my first work experiences, and my arrival to and subsequent
departure from university, at the age of 30. In the last two
chapters, I write about my own experiences with suicide and my
numerous sessions of talking with counsellors. The chapter on
suicide was particularly hard to write. It took me back to a time
where I never want to return too. The point of this chapter is to
highlight and focus on what goes through the mind of a person who
is contemplating killing themselves. I want the reader to know, to
understand, that before reaching that fateful decision, a person
suffering with depression has had a long, agonising journey and
along the way, they fight and cling on to any last vestige of life.
Millions of people around the world share the symptoms of
depression. In the last chapter, I talk about a subject that rarely
comes to the fore in the mindof someone suffering with depression -
their hopes and aspirations.
