What a difference a day makes

Last night the depression definitely tried to overwhelm me, just when it threatened to get hold of me I received a phone call which cheered me up and deterred the depression. It is interesting how sometimes little things can affect the mood so much more than all the prescribed drugs that I have tried. Unfortunately it isn't always this simple to force the depression away, but the fact that it does occasionally gives me hope.

Today I have been fighting a migraine, due to the effort needed to keep going and fight the depression, but I haven't had to fight the depression alongside the migraine.

Depression can leave you feel incredibly lonely and isolated, even if surrounded by friends, if you know someone who has depression it is important that you frequently remind them that you are there for them, even if they don't reply keep letting them know, whether by sending a text to give them your latest news, or by adding a comment to something on their facebook page, keep the channels of communication open so that it is easier for them to make contact once they are feeling better.
