Welcome to the Depression Warrior website!
I’m glad you made it! My name is Laura, and I’m here to let you know that it is not only possible to survive clinical depression, with all its trials and tribulations; it’s actually possible to Thrive after depression!
This site started in 2017 as a place where I shared my experiences with treatment-resistant major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) over the previous 35+ years. I was also diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) around the year 2000, different types of therapy, a lot of hard work, and some behavior change, I no longer meet the criteria for that diagnosis 🙂
After more than 35 years of serious suffering and hanging on for dear life, I finally started getting better. (I have written several posts about the two treatments that helped saved my life; search the Keepin’ it Real blog for “TMS” and “DBT”.)
It is now 2025 and my depression has been in partial remission for about five years now 🙂
I am living proof that it is possible to live through depression and come out the other side.
