Win Against Depression

Win Against Depression

Her story begins in silence—
a child of eleven, carrying wounds too heavy for such small shoulders.
Abuse carved scars into her soul,
and from that day, darkness became her closest companion.

Years passed in shadows,
where hope felt like a distant star,
and every breath was a battle against despair.

But even in the deepest night, a flicker of light can rise.
For Cathelina, that light was her twin sister—
a hand reaching through the storm,
a voice whispering, "You are not alone."

With courage trembling in her veins,
she stepped into therapy,
choosing to fight—not with pills,
but with truth, resilience, and the quiet strength of her own heart.

The journey was not easy.
Tears fell like rain,
but each drop watered the seeds of healing.
And slowly, joy returned—
soft at first, then radiant,
until the woman who once lived in shadows
stood in the sun, unbroken and alive.

Today, Cathelina shares her story—
through her blog, Cathy's Cross,
through her book, "The Box,"
and through the words yet to come in her next work.

Her voice is a testament:
that pain does not define us,
that hope can bloom even in barren soil,
and that joy, when it comes, is worth every tear.

So pour your favorite drink,
settle into a quiet moment,
and let Cathy's journey remind you—
light always finds a way.
