The Battle with Depression in the Mornings
My own struggle with Depression started long before I was aware I even had it, although something did always feel kind of empty, a little numb in circumstances where "normal people" felt a lot more joy, or pain, etc. Something was off. In the years preceding my High School days, my sleep health was probably the biggest sign. Days would turn into weeks and my summers would quickly pass. The signs were there, but we didn't know much about these things in my family.

Journal of a Depressed Nurse
Hi, I use to writer journals about how I'm feeling but its fallen by the wayside due to life and multiple other excuses. For those who play games and are familiar with Kill Monday's debut game, Fran Bow, you'll recognise the subtitle of my entry as the title of Chapter 1 of the game.

Putting A Person Together
Welcome! I've spent the last ten years allowing depression to damage every aspect of my life and I've had enough. I've decided to record evidence in my own words that I can put my shit back together, and I'd love if others got something out of it too.

Mens Mental Health: A Crisis
Mental health issues are at epidemic level. With government funding low and availability of resources even lower, it is time to seek alternative methods to help protect the mental health of our loved ones. The worst affected demographic, is men. In the UK, 84 men commit suicide every week, Welsh men being the majority. Leaving behind friends, family, girlfriends, boyfriends and babies because existence is unbearable. Something has to change.

Depression & Athletic Training
One of the problems I see for people who have depression when talking to those who don’t is that it is hard for the non-depressant to understand. I myself have faced this problem with friends and family. On a day that I was exercising, exercising is considered a helpful tool in combating depression, I would step into the shower to wash off. While in there my mind wandered, as it does so often when I shower. In its wandering three thoughts came together; exercise, depression, and someone who does not have depression. I saw that I had depression and have done a good amount of athletic training and exercising. It is good to note that I have run competitively in my life such in track and cross country. In the same respect, one of the people I know that has a hard time understanding depression has also done a good amount of athletic training and exercising since they continue to exercise and were a tri-athlete. In this thought pattern I devised this analogy that might help those who do not have depression and have shared in the experience of athletic training.
