The D word. Covers a multitude of sins and topics. But there is one specific one I want to focus on. Depression.    When I first wrote my D Word post just over a year ago; I did not think that a) it would resonate as much as it did and b) that I would be writing this during a global pandemic. Yet, I feel this is the most important time to follow it up. Entering the sixth week of lockdown in the UK and very much still in the midst of the storm of this virus; I can't help but notice the decline in not only my own mental health only with those around me, but also the posts I'm seeing on social media. I am happy that people feel comfortable to talk about issues that have been taboo for many years, but I also see a lot of cries for help. During this time it is hard to see us coming out the other side and, whether it's people dealing with mental health issues for the first time or those of us who feel us fighting old demons, I wanted to write this to show that regardless...
