I've heard so many people tell those who suffer depression to just "cheer up." I wonder if they really believe that it's that simple. Depression isn't just sadness. It is emptiness, it is misery.

Suffering from depression but desperate for 'normality', Rachel Cullen found herself in failing relationships, the wrong career and a reliance on alcohol and chocolate to get her through each day. Stuck in an endless cycle of mental misery, she put on a pair of old trainers.

The experts say it's next to impossible to find the soul's light in a dark past like Tuesday's.
