My Depression

I originally posted this on Facebook but I thought I would include it here for posterity sake. I went through a very dark and depressing period when I was at my sickest. I got no joy out of life and I was not motivated to do anything. I didn't feel sadness or anger or annoyance or happiness. I was just numb inside and going through the motions.

I got on an anti depressant (which I am no longer taking) and now I am back to normal. I hope to never go through that again.

I also hope that none of you ever have to go through it. Remember, if you ever need anyone to talk to, you are not alone. I am just a message away.

I do not agree with someone's decision to end their life. I believe everyone has something to live for. The good times are good and the bad times don't last forever. 

I believe that suicide is a selfish and egotistical decision because you are ending your pain but leaving behind pain for your loved ones and friends. I am glad I never got to that point, but now I can understand firsthand why someone would choose to make the decision to end their life.

Til next time, Tyler
