How Depression Ruined my life

It's funny how you can think you have it all. I had a great job, great friends, my life was perfect, or so I thought. It all shot to hell in early 2011 for me. My grandfather, who was like a father to me, died in June 2011. There was so much family conflict going on at that time, it was unbearable. It was like my mind went into hiding like a scared dog on Independence night.

My name is Latoya. I suffer from major depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia. Having these diseases impacted my life in a huge way. I was unable to work because I was unable to leave my home. I lost all the people I thought were my friends. My life was turned upside down.

I have struggled mentally, physically, financially and spiritually throughout the past six years. Somehow, I always manage to fix the spiritual aspects of my life. I'm waiting for the rest of my life to catch up.

I rely on my faith in God to keep my head afloat. Depression is an invisible disease that has very visible effects on a person's life. It took me a long time to realize that it was not my fault. Bad things just happen to good people.

In 2016, I was able to develop a plan that I still use to help me with my depression. I wrote it into an Ebook that is available for sale on Amazon, it is called  KILLING A GIANT 
 5 Steps to conquering depression with God's help. There are simple steps which I have used and I still use to battle depression and anxiety.

 Remember, a little progress every day is better than none at all. So I hope that book and my story will be able to inspire others and together, we can beat this disease. God bless you until next time.
