I'm starting this blog because there are days, weeks, months, and even years when I've just wanted to lay on the floor and cry the whole day or lash out at anything and everything that comes near me. It's not a good way to live, and I'm tired of it. Really, really tired of it. So I'm going to kick the habit.

I realize there are a lot of possible contributing factors to depression. I'm going to try to find the clinical research surrounding each contributing factor and the suggested remedy for each.

For today, it's enough to make the decision that I will not live this way anymore. It's the first step to a better life, one where I'm actually living instead of just surviving.
