Mental and Emotional Disorders

If I had major depression issues and I had the option of take therapy classes or medication, then absolutely, yes I would take it, because I don't want my friendships to suffer from it. I love my friends with all my heart and yet if I had depression I would still what feel the same and I would want to them to feel the same as well, so for that to stay stable I would do or take anything to keep my relationships with my friends consistent as if I didn't have this disorder.

Also, I would want this to affect how I participate in activities such as sports and miss the chance to meet new people. Even thought I 'have' depression in this care, I would still want to get involved and stay in shape by playing a sport or doing an activity that keeps me upbeat and excited to do something. Getting the chance to be involved in a sport would be great for me if I had depression because the people around me would always try to encourage me to do my best and if I do something good the will recognize that and complement or say something positive to get my emotions stable.

Another thing is find a mentor, someone who would stay with me through the tough times. Maybe get me into some spiritual guidance, so that I never have to have the feeling of hopelessness and loneliness. Having someone with unconditional love, someone that will never judge me or push me away will bring my self esteem and self confidence to an ultimate high. This person wouldn't be a shrink or a counselor, but someone somewhat close to my age and someone who can understand anything that I am going through, for example, the medication, the mental feelings, and or my daily actions and decisions. And though that she can lead me to someone much greater than her and tell me that everything will be okay even though sometimes I may think that the world may be ending.

Having depression wouldn't be easy, I wouldn't know this, but for the people who I, I give you a load of respect. What you are going through is not easy, same with anyone else who may have a mental or emotional disorder. People who don't have what they have will never understand the pain and suffering they must go through just to make some respect let alone a friend.
