SEVERE DEPRESSION HEALED

Vicki A. Turpen

Several years ago I went through a long period of deep depression. I would wake up in the morning with an almost uncontrollable desire to run away and hide. Some mornings I literally hid under the covers, protesting the fact that I was alive.

This was quite a shock to my husband as well as to me. I had always been the one who jumped out of bed, delighted by the first ray of sunshine and the activities planned for the day. I had always been happy to be alive even when there were trying problems to be solved. I think that was what puzzled us the most about my condition. I had a challenging job that I loved and a close, caring family that supported my activities. I had no reason to be so depressed.
