Brick by brick
I built a wall
stone by stone I built it all
I hid behind my wall
My eyes are hidden
from the light
I kept my soul out of sight
I hid behind my wall
This place of sanctuary
I lived my life
safe from all my pain and strife
I hid behind my wall
I grew up in this little room
protecting myself
putting my memories on a shelf
I hid behind my wall
This wall that was protecting me
soon became my enemy
The wall I thought it sheltered me
One day I ventured from my gloom
and saw that light
that could not shine through
I chipped away at each and every stone
the light finally warmed my skin
my eyes could see
all that I've been hiding from
My soul now soars
like on a birds wing
I rise from the ashes
that were unseen
Im broken and burned
but lifted up
because my wall
I stood up

Childhood Depression Awareness
This is my diary of my personal struggle with depression, suicide, & sexual abuse. I have made it my cause to give a voice to these things I've hidden behind my whole life and speak out to these causes that are dear to my heart. I hope that in turn telling my story will help someone else who has been down the dark path of depression and know that there is light at the end of the tunnel!
Mental Illness is not a curse! And your not alone!

- Beautiful, Kentucky, United States
- Some say you can only learn from your mistakes, some have fears of telling whats in their heart....I no longer will hide behind this wall and I hope that if you or a loved one is experiencing depression or mental illness that I can in my own way provide some comfort and hope in your battle...

Childhood Depression Awareness
About Me
I'm a 36 year old woman who has struggled for years with depression, and was diagnosed as having bipolar illness about 3 years ago. I've been through the dark madness of this disease and I've come through to the other side, and I want to tell my story. I have so much to say and I hope that I can bring a voice to this illness. I have a child who too suffers from depression and I want to let people know that we are just like you! We feel, we hurt, we love, we work, we have families and jobs. This is my story of my life and I felt it was time to quit hiding from this illness and tell my life story. I hope that I touch a chord in someones heart and that you can find my story relavent and maybe help someone else who is going through the same things as my family. I'll be posting articles on bipolar illness, depression, suicide, childhood depression, and abuse. All of which have formed my life in one way or another. I hope that I can give you some information that can help you know that there are ways to cope and survive, its not a death sentence or something to be ashamed of!
