Why I am Annonymous

I wanted to do a quick post outlining why I haven't used my real name on this blog. After starting this blog I thought some of the readers might think I am ashamed of being diagnosed with Depression. This is defiently not the case! My illness is a part of my personality, it makes me who I am, it affects my entire life as well as the people in it. However the reason I am annonymous is that I have made a lot of mistakes in my past affecting a lot of people in my life. I want to keep this blog as honest as open as possible and I feel i can do that properly if my identity is unknown!

For example, my last blog post about overdosing, that is information that none of my firends no. They know I was in hospital but for different reason related to my illness. I hope that this makes sense and I am going to keep this blog as honest as fresh as possible. I havent written anything for about two weeks. This is because I have been crazy busy with work and visiting firends on the weekend. I like to tell myself that keeping busy helps control my illness.

I guess its been working. I have been so focused on my job and traveling the UK I havent had time to think about or moan about being ill. It has almost been a good couple of weeks. However the only problem with this is that being busy creates stress that, for me, inflmaes some of my side symptoms. This I guess is my first tip, keep busy, not too busy, but busy enough!
