I cut the cord. The one that had me in a stranglehold. The one that had me glued to my computer screen for hours on end each + every day (hmm... sounds like an addiction, no?). The one that is simply emotionally unhealthy for me. The one that is also know as Facebook, which I'll use as an example in this article of how most problems result from the multifaceted interplay of external + internal factors; my most recent revelation + subsequent liberation.

Demystifying { My } Depression
In this ongoing war that seems to be my life, I have survived battle No. 13 of depression that started in May. Though, I emerge 'again' with my fare share of fresh battle scars, I also emerge a stronger, wiser, better person for having fought another battle. No lie, I'm quite tired of the fight + still wonder, "When will this war finally will be over?"
What's The Point?
Each time I begin to descend, I question, "What's the point?" To be completely honest, depression sucks worse than anything else. Its impact is magnified because there's little that the average person can do to help; regardless of how many well-meaning friends 'insist' on being involved + trying to help. It's simply not their fight, it's yours to face. It can seem very hopeless (particularly when you believe that you're not strong enough to win the battle), but the key word here is 'seem'.
