It takes guts to win the battle with depression.
It takes guts to front up and apologise to those you’re hurt.
This post, the destruction that is depression, by Whaleoil does both.
It wins my blog post of the year for courage and for the example it shows to others who are fronting up to the black dog.

Thank you for this post, Hp.
To see Whaleoil vilified by folk who just were not aware hurt.
To read his post brought tears to my eyes for that post was a huge leap forward in his ‘journey’.
We have immediate family who are at various stages in their own journeys, and to see Cam make this step is mind-blowingly wonderful. His journey now takes a whole new direction. The hard yards are not over, but they are less threatening. His strength will grow, and his resolve will now be a strength for others.
And the drug companies will cease to profit from his misery – yessssss!
Good news like this at Christmas time makes it even more special. GO WHALEOIL
