A friend of mine wrote a really lovely post on his blog about his struggle with depression.
As a fellow sufferer of bouts of depression and dealing with my own “un-labeled” or self-diagnosed bipolar I or preferably called “ups and downs”, I really appreciate it when I find people sharing their own stories.
Today my students asked me what I would like to do for a ‘real’ or rather dream job. I said I would like to write novels. They asked me why. I tried to explain how when I was young I felt so alone in my experiences and as I read/meet/talk with more adoptees and their stories, I realize how we all felt/feel alone in our experience. Add to the adoption issue, my own experiences and well, one might understand how depression might be a part of my life.
If someone had written his/her story and I had been able to read it, then perhaps I wouldn’t have felt so alone. So, I still want to pursue my writing and I believe that I can write a story well enough.
Just need time and more discipline….
