Tired.

Overwhelmed.

Unfocused.

Too hard on myself.

Those are just a few of my symptoms of depression.

When my older son was almost two years old, my depression was so out of control that it had slipped into panic attacks. I was working full-time and I was a full-time mom. I was doing everything I could to hold my life together and most people I came into contact with in a day would never have known what I was struggling with. I thought I had to be strong and independent.  I thought I had to do it all on my own. I refused to even lean on my own husband most of the time.
