Welcome to Women’s Life Link and our New You in 31 Days Challenge. We have a new contributor! Christina Taylor is another dear one from down under. She has a special story to share with us about her challenges and victories within her experience with Depression. She will be sharing some of her poetry that is featured in her book, A Woman’s Courage.
What is it like to live with depression? To feel you are in a black hole with no way to escape? Christina Taylor presents an honest account of what it was like for her, keeping a smile on her face for the benefit of the outside world, as she battled daily with conflicting and abnormal emotions and behaviours. Finally, no longer able to keep up the facade, she attempted suicide. Depression, once a taboo subject, is now a recognized and treatable mental illness. For anyone living with depression or living with someone else who is suffering from depression this is an invaluable insight into the world of the ‘black hole.’
You can check out her bio and more about her book on the Contributor Page! Please welcome her with some comment love. I’m sure she would love to hear if any of you have experienced depression and, if so, how you handle challenges, what has worked for you, and what hasn’t. Be YOU!

A Woman’s Courage- Poem from Page 30
Used to walk in the dark,
To escape a disastrous
Reality.
Now the dark is the only
Reality I know,
Turning my key in the door,
Makes my shining lights,
Full moon, my reality,
Disappear into a black
Hole of Patheticness.
Only when he is there,
I shall not give in.
I have to conquer
My fears…
Poem from Page 17
I will run away,
Far away,
Leaving shit behind me,
When you least expect it.
It will be the day that I break your heart,
As much as you have broken mine.
A new start.
A new life.
And the sun will still rise,
Only I will feel love again,
In my empty black heart.
