Opening up about being mentally ill

[rexbeccarox]

Chronic, Major Depression is the name of my game. I don't have conscious memory of it not existing in me. I'm unmedicated and in the worst episode of my life, which has lasted now approximately five years... and it's only been getting worse. No one in my family suffers from it (my dad did, but he died almost nine years ago), and neither do my friends, so it's hard to get people to understand. At least they try, though, so I'm very lucky.
