The story of Melancholia Valance

So this a story all about how, this young little woman life got turned upside down. And I like to take more than a minute to sit right here and tell you all about how I had my umteenth depressive episode and got outta there.

Melancholia Valance stands for depression balance (you have to pronounce the V as a B) and will be a blog about how I sustain my balance with the search for the right treatment of my depression, high pressure job and excercise.

I was 25 when I found out I had been suffering from recurring clinical depression. I was today years old when I found out I have rapid cycling disorder. I didn’t get out. I got through and I am getting through everyday.

I wanted to write about my journey as a reminder of what I’ve been through and what I have gained so when it happens again I know what I can gain. I am afraid of how bad it can get and that I won’t remember. So this a reminder for me and a reminder for strangers and loved ones to remind me when I forget.

But today was a good day and I do not want to remember the pain. I just want to remember I started this blog.
