Story
You know those people that when they tell you they have suffered with depression, you find it hard to believe?
Well that's me. I have mastered the brave face.
I can remember first feeling depressed and having suicidal thoughts as a teenager, I don't know why. I had a good home life and people who loved me, I just felt blue, then I would feel blue, about feeling blue- after all my life was good.
As I became a young adult, and journeyed through motherhood, the black dog seemed to nip at my heels more and more.
Eventually I sought help.
It has been an on going battle, but one that I am winning now. Recently I have upped my excersise levels and started Couch to 5k. Not bad for an absolute couch potato.
The difference to my general well being has been very noticeable. I feel happier.
My daughter Emi and I are running together. We will both be using a treadmill, unless we get brave enough to venture outdoors. I will continue using the Couch to 5K app and alternate with shorter runs in between.
I will keep you updated via socia media.
