Riding Solo: My battle with depression

What's up volley friends. It's been a while... Been going through it a bit. So I forced myself to share what I've been going through. Sometimes, the greatest things come from the darkest places. It's hard to share some of the emotions I've been experiencing lately. Which for me, in the past, being afraid to share how I feel is a virtually impossible task. We keep the book open baby. So when I started to feel ashamed for how I felt and it started interfering with my life in a way that crippled me from doing virtually everything. I knew it was time to confront those feelings. My hope in sharing this is to be vulnerable with you as a way to connect and more so, to force myself to confront my feelings of discomfort when it comes to the subject of my own depression. Stay up. #youwont
