Therese Borchard, "What I Wish People Knew About Depression," National Catholic Reporter.
Excerpt:
I wish people knew that depression comes and it goes, and in its ebb and flow are found pockets of peace that can sustain a person for the journey.
I wish people knew, more than anything else, that there is hope.
Beyond every action imaginable, there is hope.
In reaching beyond the self without fear to others who understand.
In sharing the familiar yet unique story of one's illness with someone who knows.
In finding purpose and meaning.
In gently turning one's pain to love and service.
