Bio
A wise friend once said we all live the unexpected life. My life is nothing like I planned it. Perhaps that is ok though. I am on my third year of living with severe depression, and with that diagnosis I have been able to make sense of my past somewhat. Depression has long been part of my life since early teens but I didn't have a name for my experience until now. I am in treatment but have not found much if any relief. Depression cycles through ups and downs for me and its a struggle on both good and hard days. I don't find much joy in things anymore but try to keep up with the things I value such as working on my little homestead, trying to be healthy, self sufficient, cooking, and trying to survive and contribute in my job.
