Change of pace

I refound my lost blog and now want write about struggling with chronic depression. There is so little talk about mental illness I feel like discussing my day to day experiences might help others and maybe myself. Currently I have an M.F.A in painting and am about to be homeless. I'm waiting to hear from my local housing commission if I am able to move into disability housing. If you asked me 20 years ago what I thought I'd be doing it would of been teaching, having a family and traveling. I am doing none of this and the story is complicated, just like most people with a mental illness. I hope my story will be helpful for others. I will be writing about my therapy, psychiatrists and medications as well as natural things that could relieve some of that deep dark cloud inside.
