| Introduction | My name is Beth Novak. I'm a writer, working from home. I'm a mother with two teenagers, a wife, a daughter, a sister, a friend. I'm also depressed. This blog is a long letter written to me. I've spent years in and out of depression. I've developed lots of ways to cope, and I have a lifetime of inner wisdom when it comes to escaping depression's clutches. I struggle with paying attention to that wisdom, so this blog is my way of taking what I already know, putting it in front of my face, and re-internalizing it. I'm not a doctor or a counselor, but I believe I can be my own best life coach. I plan to give myself weekly challenges, small concrete steps to climb out of this slump and live gloriously. I pray that if there is someone out there who can benefit from my own struggle they will join me on this journey. |
