How can stress impede our thoughts?

I do hope you are feeling better now than you were when you wrote this Hub. I've been through some pretty bad events in my life, but thankfully I was able to survive without depression.

You are brave for sharing your own experience. Depression can be a difficult condition to muster, and master.People should never be ashamed to seek help when they need it, for it is a condition like any other. It leads to a lot of stress, and I can only imagine your difficulty. I am glad, though, that you seem to be getting better!! My blessings.

I am so happy we can help each other.Take one day at a time.You are not going to help matters if you are sick and can't help out where needed.Remember stress we can create and we also can eliminate.Take a deep breath and smile more.It is so hard to be stressed and smiling at the same time.

I find your story moving and courageous.With so many obstacles in your way you keep finding solutions.You have a wonderful family that can learn from the many disappointments and now successes that you continue to reach.I often have many scattered thoughts.I have found as I put them one by one on paper they fall into place.I don't worry or fear.I just do what I can each day and then share the happiness that I see.I see love that isn't bound by anyone or anything.I find peace in myself even if noone cares.I often wonder what different people go through and how my life would be different if I lived their life.You have shared a personal story of struggle and triumph.I have never dealt with real physical problems just imaginary ones that speak to me to do better.To drive me when everyone else is lazy.To always question when other people don't care.I keep saying it will make me a better person.I don't let stress into my life.I smile alot and find things that make me laugh.I enjoy reading about special people like you who keep reaching for the stars.I want to bring the stars closer so you don't have to reach so high.I still don't have the answers and sometimes the stars slip away.I will be their trying and when that day comes I will laugh the best and longest laugh that anyone has ever laughed.I can say I made it and it was possible.But for now I am just standing with my hands in the air.So when you are having a bad day you can think of me.How silly I look trying to bring the stars from the sky to you.Have a wonderful night and thanx for the follow.

Voted up and Awesome, a very honest and personal hub. The old ways of dealing with it were, well, SCARY! But, nowadays it is quite normal to suffer from stress.

Thanks for SHARING.

Unfortunately, even today, many kids that are suffering from depression are viewed as "problem children" instead of searching for the true answers. You wrote a great hub, and even if it helps just one person, it will be well worth it.

Thank you very much for sharing your story, it always helps a lot when someone tells you their story, how they got out of a situation. Thanks a lot for motivating and helping us at the same time. I look forward to reading more of your hubs.

Thanks Ddraigcoch for taking the time to share. I believe the more people realize they are not alone in this depression the more people will seek help. Whether it be through doctors, books or just talking to friends, depression should not be ignored. The world is a harsh, cold place sometimes and people like you make trying to shed some light are always appreciated.

helpful voted useful!!! thanks

Beautifully written. You were very brave to go to the doctor in the first place but you were very wise to go back. Never, never be ashamed of helping yourself. Very awesome hub for a person who HAD too many disorganized thoughts in her head once upon a time. Congrats.!!!
