About

      Hi, my name is Tom and my purpose for creating this blog is to educated people about depression and how to deal with it. In the process, this will help me overcome my own depression that I am currently battling; for a while I was ok, until about a month ago. It was a Thursday, and I went to my sisters house to see how she and my neice were doing. I know that my sister needed some money, so I took her to get some from the debit machine, she left my niece in the house by herself, only to return a few minutes later.

    When we got back, the neighbor had informed my sister that someone came looking for her and that my neice Kaylah answered the door- she’s only 5 years old. When my sister got in her house, in a rage she started beating the shit out of my neice………I mean fighting her. When I stopped her and asked her why she went off like that, she replied that Kaylah shouldn’t have answered the door, and that she was tired of being a single mother. This instantly put me into a deep state of depression because I never imagined anyone hitting a little girl like that, and to see my sister as the one who did it, made my depression worst.

     You see, we both grew up in foster care and luckly for me, my fathers sister adopted me, taking me to North Carolina and leaving my sister in New Jersey. My sister grew up in a ghetto area, and she has since become ghetto; she is loud, she always wants to fight someone, she’s irresponsible, she’s not independent and she thinks that everyone owes her something. I thought she was over all of that, but when I saw her beat my neice I realized that she wasn’t. My heart is so broken over all of this, because I really want my sisters life to be perfect; but i know it won’t be for a long time.

    So int he mean time, I am going to learn everything I can about depression in hopes to return my spirit to the way it was.
