My name is Jennifer and I am a 33 year old Female. 

I experienced signs of depression at an early age of 8 and was finally diagnosed with depression several years ago. It was an excruciatingly painful illness and I did not know how to cope with it on my own, but was too ashamed and embarrassed to turn to family members and friends for help. To make matters worse, I suffered from extreme low self-esteem and lack of self-confidence. I became a serious danger to myself because I hid the illness from everyone around me. I am 33 now and can say that I have finally triumphed over the battle with depression with the help of counseling and medication. Of course it is an everyday battle, but with the continued help and support of others, I can finally live a happy life.
