Adventures in Depression

(Note: DON'T WORRY ... it's not me - I'm doing fine and dandy!)

I just wanted to share this link Adventures in Depression. I follow Allie's blog (http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com) and seriously, she makes me laugh so hard, she is hugely talented, gifted and hilarious. She also suffers from severe depression. I love how she is so honest about it, it's inspiring.

I must admit I haven't felt this extreme level of depression that Allie has, for that I'm thankful, but I could relate to a few things that she mentioned. I think it's a good thing to raise awareness of what depression is all about and the more we (by we, I mean society) understand the more we can provide support and research on how to overcome it.

Some of my favourites posts by Allie: (Read them, trust me, you won't be able to stop laughing :P)

I just read the other two blog posts, and when I got to the third I realised why the style of the other two were vaguely familiar... I've read "This is Why I'll Never Be an Adult" before!!! It's a standing joke on my online Mothers Group that we have to do "ALL THE THINGS!!!". Hahaha LOVE IT!
