Out of Darkness

As depressed persons, we know the role of the victim.  We’ve been hurt by life’s many injustices and we’ve waited passively for things to change.  Maybe we drank or drugged to hide our pain.  But whether or not we acknowledge it, we have been active participants in our own victimhood.  We have a choice–to live lives of responsibility or to remain stuck in victimhood.  I choose to accept what life has given me and to take full responsibility for my attitudes and my actions.
