When Autumn Comes

At the age of 28 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2. Previous to that it had been a simple depression for a long time. Since the age of 19 Ive been taking medication and visiting my psychiatrist regularly. Although there are hypomania episodes in the summertime my worst nightmare occurs in the autumn when I experience severe depression. This work as the title implies is about those times. The story in front of you is about my understanding of the disease it is unlikely that all patients will have the same experience. This story was not written to elicit pity or sympathy for those who are like me. I want people to understand what depression is. I want people to know what patients go through each and every day and night. That is all. Im working hard to raise awareness about this deadly disorder. May I be successful on this path
