Depression...

Published

is a horrible feeling...

it makes you feel and do things that you normally would not do.

it can take a toll on you body, family and social life...

it dosen't pick and choose it's victims...

it makes you sad and causes unwanted headaches and physical problems...

why is depression bothering me...

I know there are things that are beyond my control but I want a normal life..

things use to be so different..

I use to be happy and free..

Now I don't know what I feel or how to overcome the monster that lies beneath...

Thanks for listening.. I feel a little better...

I think as nurses we are exposed to so much sadness (as well as all the other stress factors) and try as we might to put walls around our personal feelings, it's only a matter of time. I think all workplaces should provide better counselling services for nurses, after all we are as human as those we care for.
