Confessions of a Chronic Depressive: A Record of Struggle and Perseverance

"Things looked bleak. I was out of medication, without a doctor, and beginning to find daily life more and more difficult. I was fragile, on edge, fatigued, isolated. I was facing another breakdown, and it seemed inevitable. I knew that if it all became too much, if I didn't get help, I was going to give in. So in a final effort of perseverance, I went public. I decided to tell my story, share the lessons I had learned, and try to support anyone else who felt like me...just in case I didn't survive this time."

This book is a collection of the author's blog posts, providing an inside look at chronic depression. It is a must-read catalog of self-reflection for those who are suffering from depression-and for those who love them and don't know how to help. It is also a reminder that openness can lead to healing and honesty can be life changing.
