. . . oookaay, I get depressed too. I'm married living with my wife's parents do to crushing debt and neither one of us have a job. It's 2 weeks left til the bills are due and it looks like we may have to sell some things again. Don't want to sell the bed, but...no, depression for me though has always just been a mind set. I say I'm depressed when really I'm just at a loss for reasonable thought (or is that the same thing?)..
I've cut...I've taken pain killer shots...I've vented. Nothing worked, aside from religion and good friends. It took me a long time to realize that happiness is overrated and that i didn't have to feel okay or happy to be okay or happy. expressing emotion is important. When you are angry you need to show it. For me I guess I was so numbed by society and their tolerance laws for emotions (always be happy. put a smile on. It's wrong to get angry) that I forgot I was human and that being angry or upset is natural. When you express yourself, deeply and truly, there's no need for depression. Hell, even that's expression! So stop meditating and petting invisible animals and belt out a scream off a hillside or something lol! No, don't let me put ideas in your head. Things in life get better. I don't know how but they do and being alive helps the process of getting there.
