look who's back.
September 5th, 2010
so I havent writen for quite a while, and I'm pleased to say that it's because I havent felt the need to.
I find the summer usually has that effect on me, the lack of school and a bit of sun puts me in a much better mood than normal. It's been the best couple of months I've had in a long time - even with the dismil british weather.
However, the familiar feeling is setting back in now the school time is about to start, not yet feeling the full extent of it I'm trying to shrug it off while it's still at it's weakest. I wish I knew what to do, but I just don't. I guess only time will tell what will happen next.

Just keep trying to hold onto that warm summer feeling and remember that no matter what the season... no matter what the situaiton you find yourself in, you are still the person who got through a wonderful summer feeling strong and in good spirits. Hold onto that as tight as you can and close your eyes and remember it when you need a time-out from life.
So we made a short film called L.I.F.E., awarded in some film festivals, that portraits a full time mother and lawyer who has suffered from depression for many years and that has led her to start a support group for depression sufferers that meet regularly. You can watch it for free on the internet!
Why to talk about the invisible illnesses? Because I´ve been dealing with depression my whole life. I am 29 now and I´ve been suffering from depression since I was 8 years, I tried to commit suicide twice at the age of 18 and planned on taking my life several times.
Making the film helped me to accept the disease and dedicating a section at my website to talk about it makes me feel better.
Be our guest! There you can get information about depression, bipolar disorder, panic disorder, cyclothymia and dysthymia, besides I point out a lot of treatment options and share my own experience.
Come and share yours! Your life matter a lot to us! Let´s gather strength by sharing and being comforted by listening and learning new ways out of depression!

And I am really really sorry about my English but it´s a bit rusty! I am Brazilian!
Brazilian hugs from Ana Maria Saad and keep on talking about such delicate and taboo matter!
Thanks!
