Welcome!
I'm Michael.

Thanks for visiting my personal blog, Depression With A Purpose.

​

This is where I share true stories about my journey through life with depression.  

​

I believe that the best thing I can give myself, my depression, and my experiences is purpose.​

​​

The best thing I can give you is my story, and with it, hopefully the benefit of those experiences.

​

To those ends, whether you or someone you love is coping with depression, I hope this blog helps us both.

On Healing...

The word "healing" presumes that it has some finality... that when the healing is over, you will be healed.  It adds hope to the journey, to know that depression, like other injuries, could maybe heal over time.

​

Every journey to find healing, however, is different.  In reality, not every story has a happy ending.  But does it have to be that way?  Since depression is all-consuming, maybe to heal you have to treat the whole person.

DISCLAIMERS

​

FIRST

Please understand that I am not a doctor.  I am not a social worker. I am not a certified mental health expert of any kind.

They are who I encourage you to meet with to create a plan that suits your individual needs.

​In fact, my degree is in business and IT.  So what do I have to offer?  Good question. Leonardo Da Vinci (who is a recurring theme in my journey) once said:​

​

"Though I may not, like them, be able to quote other authors, I shall rely on that which is much greater and more worthy:  on experience, the mistress of their Masters." 

​

In other words... I have my experiences, and I am sharing them in hopes they will help.
