Hi. My name is Amanda. And I suffer from depression. I have likely been dealing with this since I was a teenager, but it was not officially diagnosed until a few years ago. This is not something that I have talked openly about outside of my husband and a few friends. Most people don't.
I feel like God is calling me to bust the doors wide open on depression this month. I'm not a doctor or a counselor and this is not intended to be medical advice. This is simply the story of my experience with depression.
What it is.
What it isn't.
The raw truth.
The harsh realities.
The ups.
The downs.
The shame.
The guilt.
Suggestions for digging out.
Seeing God in the midst of it all.
And eventually, the joy that can come from facing it head on.
Join me on the journey this month: 31 Day to Finding Joy in Depression.
