Depression Primer: Excellent link about depression

[Into The Light]

i just wanted to share this "handbook" on depression. it is a good read and presented with humour (which made it comforting to me in a way). i hope others find this helpful as well.

Thanks for sharing. It was a quick, fun read and the illustrations are well done. My favorite part:

You are not your depression.

Try thinking of depression as a mean little troll living inside your body...It is the mean little troll who is causing you to be sad; you are not just a "sad person." Looking at it this way, it is easier to see your battle for what it is--against a problem in your body, not against yourself.
