Groundbreaking New Book Presents Realistic Approach to Coping with Depression

The Dark Times by Paula Marie Robinson is a gripping compilation of poetry that details struggles with depression and sheds positive light on overcoming it.

Pomfret, Conn. (PRWEB) January 17, 2008 -- Paula Marie Robinson's The Dark Times is a personal account of her own experience with the darkness and despair of depression and was written at different stages of her life spanning from adolescence to adulthood.

Robinson's poetry explores the fear, pain and hopelessness she faced in her life. Many people have gone through the disease of depression and it is possible to find the way to the light although it may seem unfeasible at the time.

In a candid, easy-to-read form, Robinson exposes her rawest of emotions in her poems. Wanting to help others going through the same thing, Robinson wrote her moving and healing poetry as a means to escape her tunnel of darkness as well as to break the negative stigma that surrounds people who have, or have dealt with depression. Writing poetry was the way that Robinson coped. With courage and the recommendation of her closest friends, Robinson chose to share her story documented in verse.

For anyone who has ever gone through any type of abuse or experienced depression in any form, Robinson openly reveals her cathartic means of prevailing. The Dark Times is a must-have for anyone to fully understand the duality of depression.
