Depression, this disease misunderstood.

27 October 2013, the tenth day of the European depression. Throughout the week, from 22 October, 10 cities will offer movies-debates, conferences, well information, cultural events or demonstrations of complementary therapies, around the theme 'depression and work'.Because I speak it?Because depression is a disease that has touched me on the head, and ... it lasted several years. Because depression is a disease often misunderstood and poorly accepted. Because people who suffer from it are often judged and denigrate.My journey with this damn disease began very early. From my 15 years, I've known the deep depression and malaise, but all this we put on the winter blues and adolescence, that my faith was legitimate.However, has not stopped ... I went through periods of great malaise, eating disorders, where I knew more than I did here, where I did not understand this persistent sadness while I was really going to be happy. The summer of my 19 years, after significant weight loss and a cracking process to work, the word fell like a Cleaver: depression.I took it as a fist, it was simply impossible to me I am depressed, no no no. And yet ... I took drugs, 4 months, just because they don't get used to it. When I ended up accepting this disease because it is one, and well, paradoxically, I started to feel better.You don't see a psychiatrist or psychologist, in each case wasn't immediately. I analyzed alone, to me that was not reason for this malaise eventually anyway, it did not ignite. I was deep in my discomfort, I couldn't find my place, I dévalorisais much, I lived my evil failures ... I created a lot of unconscious mechanisms of self-destruction finally! ...When I finally realized that I was the one who destroyed me, I was seeing a psychologist, that helped me. And then I started with kick back, because for me, it was out of the question to persist in this State! I had a life before me, so it was necessary that I advance.I've always been an optimist by nature and naive despite everything.This is because for almost 4 years, I have fought against my relapse, when I felt myself falling again. I took a treatment, solutions sought elsewhere: in dance and in the kitchen for example.If you deliver this testimony of this part of me that I have long postponed, is hoping that someday never ceases to overwhelm depressive people. This can happen to anyone and really we go.For my part, I learned later, that there is a family plot, that our genetic make-up plays his role well ... and depression is a family affair by making my mother. And then, I found a great deficiency in vitamin D, only fixed and never would set causing periods of Blues with the approach of winter.Short. Depression is an important issue that too often trivializes. The France counts the largest number of consumers of antidepressants and anxiolytics. The Professional Burnout is unfortunately a reality affecting more besides ...Therefore, I support this week for information about depression and working pressure.and you, depression, what do you think?
