Hello! This new Today.com blog, Life After Depression, is designed to be a place where you can come to gather support while you are healing from the disease of depression. Whether you are in the midst of your depression struggle or have overcome the condition already, I would like to welcome you to our new community.

As a depression survivor, I know that life after depression can be rewarding and wonderful. My name is Nicole, and I was diagnosed with postpartum depression in 2006 after my daughter was born. In the midst of my struggle through depression, I found myself believing that my family would be better off if I were dead. There was one day when I would have killed myself if my daughter had not been with me in the car at the time. As many depression victims know, it was very difficult for me to be willing enough to get help, but eventually I did, and today I am loving my life and my daughter.

So welcome! Feel free to leave a comment and tell me your own story. On this blog we will discuss treatments, coping skills, and our stories. Let’s get to know one another and support each other through the depression journey. There is, after all, Life After Depression.
