Welcome to Laying Bare.
If you have found yourself here, there is a pretty great chance that you, or someone you care about is suffering from depression, or some other mental illness.
This blog is my own personal journey through the pain, frustration, and triumphs of life with mental illness. It is in no way to be considered the normal experience or to be taken as medical advice.
If you are looking for a place where you can find camaraderie and understanding for your life with depression, this site may help.
In the same light, I write what I feel, which, at times, includes difficult topics such as suicide and eating disorders. If those topics might trigger you into self-harming or deprecating behavior, this may not be the site for you.
No matter what journey may have led you here, I hope you are able to find the smallest bit of what you are looking for.
If you are struggling, or thinking of harming yourself, please utilize the Depression resources, and know that people do care about you, and that you DO matter.
