personal experiences of knowing that I was suffering from depression. How I conveyed my situation to the others, and how I suffered from the situations as a result of my depression.

My name is Lyshill Revero**. I live in Alabama. I have been married since more than 7 years. Marriage is an institution that requires increased trust companionship, compromises, and mutual love. Honesty is the one factor that can strengthen the institution of marriage. The beginning of our marriage was happy and stable. After some years, I started to face many difficulties and issues in our marriage. I knew that life was made up of certain difficult scenarios and it is important that the individual remains strong even in the presence of such scenarios. I kept struggling with small and minor issues in the beginning. However, slowly, these issues were gaining more energy and it was becoming hard for me to fight. This was one of the main triggering factors to push me into the state of depression. The main reason of an increased disturbance that I was facing in our marriage was when I came to know of certain activities of my husband stationed overseas. My husband was away and he was transferred to Korea. In the beginning, it seemed to work out well. But afterwards, I came to know that he was explicitly doing things in Korea that were not very good for our marriage and that were not to be done by any morale and a dedicated husband. I started to think that my husband was not being a true and an honest husband and that our marriage is of lesser importance to him that makes him unfaithful with me. I could not reach my husband, as I wanted to talk to him about it thinking I could be wrong. I was alone and had no one to talk to. The thoughts were becoming locked in me and I could not get them out of me. This made me angrier and even more depressed.
