Emerging into Light by Jim McMorran
I have suffered with depression for over 20 years! Through medication, counseling and the support of my former employer from whom I am retired and the support of friends, I am able to "manage" the effects of depression. Last year I was taken off the medication so I could stand on my own and I have been successful at it.
I am the past president of the NS Division of CMHA, serving a four year term. I am currently secretary of the board of directors of the Colchester - East Hants branch of CMHA. A major part of my being in a less dark place is my association with CMHA. Learning about depression, being involved at the branch, division and national levels of CMHA was a tremendous awakening for me. Knowing I was not alone in the dark, has helped.
I have attached a photo of an candle shedding its light that I call "Emerging Into Light"
