Living with depression

My closest friends know the battle I must wage against the demons in my head each day I wake. I do not like to hit people over the head with this tidbit of information for a number of reasons. People often get a certain impression of me when they first meet me, and it's usually correct. I am good natured, sweet, caring, giving, etc. There are many things I've done in my past that I deeply regret. I've always prided myself on my ability to rationalize any situation. However, being someone who is extremely sensitive, I am prone to making stupid mistakes. You wouldn't imagine that I would be, but there it is. Some of these things I simply cannot get into in a public forum such as this. I will say that I've lived my entire life dealing with a spirit crushing depression that almost got the best of me a few years back. I am still here. I am breathing, living, loving and experiencing everything I've dreamed of. I have righted the ship, for now. I know it will be something I will always have to control. I will overcome. I will win. I do not have any other option.
