How do you think a depressed brain would look as compared to a non-depressed? I know you guys like visuals ... so here's my guess.

This IS my brain, I have struggled with pathological lying/ fantisizing all my life and I have recently begun to discover that I have been "depressed" most of my life and now atthe age of 37 I am taking a big step and getting the help I need withintesive therapy and medication.
My husband and I are going to separate for about a 6-8 week period after the holidays ( we are going home to PA like every year)and then my husband and my son are coming back down here to NC becasue my husband has to teach and my son is in school.But I am going to stay with my dad and go to a psycatrist in my hometown and get some help. I am scared to leave my son but I have to get my life back and plus being in NC is very hard becasue I don't have any friends or support of any kind ( my husband is very unsupportive, becasue he doesn't understand and is not willing to understand depression, he doesn't view it as an illness, he just keep telling me well stop it, don't think like that and get over so we can move on) but in Pa I have my dad and my support system so I think being up there for awhile will do me a world of good. I will keep you posted! Derrie
