Hi, im James, otherwise known around steemit as 
Im your average empoverished Canadian guy trying to make it as a father and a human in todays society.
Disclosure, ive suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia and anorexia (currently up to 130 pounds! 35 to go)
I found steemit in October of 2017
At that time my son was about 9 months old and living solely with his mom while i couch surfed to make enough to get us all back together which i did february 1st.
We found a home, were less than 3 weeks away from our second child.
But in that time of homelessness, and seperation from my son, my depression came back worse than ever.
I stopped steeming and focused on my work.
I almost gave up on myself.
I started taking antidepressants in november of last year and as my home and life started to settle down i was able to start steeming again.
It was here on steemit that ive truly broken away from my depression. I can vent, talk. I can actually read about things im passionate about. Steem has been my home since January and i truly beleive its been a blessing on my life.
So what i want to say is, if you suffer from depression or mental illness come to steemit. Find your passion and follow it. Find people like yourself and follow them. Work together and use this platform to break free from your old thoughts and embrace this new world as your home. You wont regret it.
Be creative, be open, the people who are judged on steemit are the ones who halfass their involvement. Be involved every time you comment or post.
Much love.
