I suffer from depression

I have depressions. Some days are a lot better then others. These last few months have not been my best. The biggest reason that I am writing this post is because if by my admitting and writing about the fact that I have depression, that I am currently taking medication for, will help one person not be too ashamed to seek help then it is worth it.
I think most people suffer from bouts of depression. This makes it hard for them to understand the deep dark depression that people like me have.
I get up in the morning because I have 3 kids under 10. I need to get the oldest 2 off to school. If there wasn't that hanging over my head every morning I would spend a lot more time in my bed. After getting the older 2 off to school there are a lot of days, more often then not, that nothing else gets accomplished.
It is such a downward spiral. I see everything that needs to get done and know I need to. I just don't have the drive to get it done. And when it doesn't happen there is the guilt. Then the self doubt.
One day I will be able to figure out what my triggers are, or if I even have any triggers. What I do know is this is something that I will always have to deal with. There is no getting completely away from it. What it all comes down to is how well I am coping. Like I said before, there are days that are better then others.
My goal right now is to have more of the better days.
