What is depression

Thing is, you can't control your mind. My best friend has severe depression and I always used to notice that it would get worse whenever something bad happened, so I started thinking that she just had bad coping skills or something. It wasn't until I was diagnosed Bipolar that I realized you sincerely cannot help it. It's just something that overtakes you. It's in your mind, because it is a brain imbalance and you were born with it. The best thing is to be understanding.

I had depression since I was layoff last year 2009 up to now I'm unemployed , finished already my EI of 58 weeks but was totally devastated with financial hardship. Then my Blood pressure goes up high 150/115 yesterday and keep my dizzy all the time unable to apply for a job as of now. Not sure if I'm still gonna be alive every moment right now is really counting down. I wen to Doctors but just gave me some medicine that doesn't works at all. my blood pressure maintain at 140/100 which really makes me very depressed. I had two kids to really care at age 7 and 10 , This is just a letter that I'm not sure my life still going on.
