When you are depressed, does your life seem like a string of BAD experiences and your current life seem just a hopeless disaster? Or is it just ME??? I'm not sure how others really experience depression--and I am trying to be rational in some way.
It sure does. The light at the end of the tunnel gets very dim. Thank heavens it never goes out. It reignites itself over time and with a lot of support. Don't go through it alone. At least you recognize it. That is the first step. During this string of BAD things- I laugh when the next thing happens and joke with God that wow he must really think highly of me to put all this on my shoulders. So if he knows I can handle it, then I feel rest assured that I will get through it.
I completely agree. All you can think about is all the bad things in your life and you can't see the good things that are around you. But from my experience of living with it for at least 30 years, it doesn't last forever. You need to find out what is best for you, whether it be seeing a Dr. for medication or seeing a psychologist to help you find a way to best deal with it. And exactly, support is a big part of dealing with it, it's so much better having someone there to comfort you then trying to deal with it alone, and you have some good support coming here, it's at least good to know there are other people out there that have the same experiences and how they cope.

Ty last night at 2:30 am. I think I wrote my longest post here. I was in bed and my laptop way on the blankets. It shut down due to overheating. Bummer- but I am so glad it works now. Maybe I was rambling last night because I was tired. Who knows. I'll answer your questions later. Have a great day ... Smile- see my other post this morning.
