I'm 52 and have been living with depression in some form since I was 24. I have been managing the illness with meds and therapy, but mostly I've grown to accept it as part of me. I have to take good care of myself, which I try to do even though I've been trying to lose the same 20lbs since nursing school 10 yrs ago. I'm married and working as a... Read more Chevron
