about me!

Hi! My name's Isabelle and I write for Joy and the Journey. I'm an 18 year old university student. I've been battling dysthymic disorder (a slightly less debilitating form of major depressive disorder that lasts 2 or more years) for the past 5 years, but I was only diagnosed last August.

So far, I haven't been able to beat my depression, but I know that eventually I will. In the mean time, I hope I can start up some discussions and conversations amongst all you that struggle with depression, and provide you with my personal experience in treating depression. I'm also a psychology major, so I will also post the things I learn there that might be of help or interest to you.

I intended this blog to be a forum, so don't let me just talk to myself! Get involved. I, and others that are struggling, could use your help, suggestions, questions...anything that can be done to give you hope in overcoming the terrible struggle that is depression.

Love,
Isabelle :-)
