DEPRESSION TAKETH! It Knocks on Your Door!

 Yikes!!!

From 1995-1998, depression (especially depression with psychosis) took away everything that I loved – everything- my health, my relationships with friends and loved ones, my ability to work.

It still tries to do this today, but now it only gets a small section of my life instead of years. I hate depression so much that even a few hours of depression are too much for me now.

When I get depressed, I go into fight mode and I simply don't stop working on it until the depression is gone. (I use the tips in my book 'Get it Done When You're Depressed' daily.)

Depression doesn't even get one minute of my life without a huge fight. At first it took months to get better, then weeks then days – now I can get better in one day if I really work hard.

My bipolar disorder is always around, but I have changed.

 There is no room for depression in my life and I make that very clear to the big monster when it knocks on my door.
