My name is Marie Pugh, and I have suffered from depression off & on for over 10 years. I was diagnosed with post-partum depression after the birth of both of my daughters, and am currently still taking medication to help me with my illness.
I hope to be able to write about how I have felt, and issues that I feel are important regarding depression. It is a subject that I am very passionate about, as I have lived with it for many years. I don’t feel that there is the education and knowledge about depression that there should be. It isn’t something that anyone should be made to feel ashamed of.
I will use my blog to discuss depression, and I welcome anyone to join in and leave comments telling of their own experiences. It is important to educate the public, because I for one am tired of the comments that are made by people like Tom Cruise, who do not believe that depression is a real illness. I would just like to say to anyone who would like to judge, not to do so until you have walked in my shoes.
I look forward to hearing from everyone, and I hope that I can offer some enjoyable and interesting reading for you.
(Please be patient with me, as I am not very technically inclined, so it may take me some time to figure out all of the ins & outs of the administration of this blog!)
