Many times, I thought about deleting that post. I am glad I did not delete the post because; I received many emails from people thanking me.

Thanks for sharing your moment of depression and helping to spread the word that depression is not a sign of weakness.Blinders Offhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109286529955936165noreply@blogger.com
