Depression, Anxiety, Panic disorders, Phobias.

We all go through dark times of disappointment, disillusionment or depression ...the loss of a loved one, or feelings of inadequacy. It's just a fact of life. I wrote most of these poems when I was working through my own depression. I find that writing helped me to work through my feelings and put things in perspective. It's one way of getting it out. Our loved ones don't always understand what we're going through. Depression is viewed as a sign of weakness or a weak mind. It's not always a matter of "just get over it". Anybody who has never gone through it can't understand the mental anguish you go through. I still struggle with it on a daily basis, it doesn't just go away, it's always there.
