Florida lacrosse player Makenzie Mason: `I have to keep fighting`


.....When you`re feeling depressed it`s hard to even tie your shoes, let alone pull 18-hour days crammed with one thing after the next. I was always on edge. I spent the few off-days I had in bed. I knew something was very wrong, but I didn`t feel like I could talk to anyone. How could they understand? I had a great family, good health, and I was getting to play a varsity sport at my dream college. I felt like I didn`t have a right to feel sad, because so many people have it worse than me......
.....My message to those who are suffering right now is this: Do not get discouraged. I have been where you are. It is dark and you can feel all alone. Depression steals all the hope we have. Depression has taken many things that I love away from me, but I have to keep fighting. Keep fighting for your happiness and your life. Just keep fighting.....

Bethany`s Notes: Another personal story everyone should read. If you have never experienced depression but have friends or family who have this gives you a better understanding why it is so hard to reach out.
