Depression- Must read!

This is a blog post by someone who has struggled with depression for a long time,
really great read, and just wanted to share with DXP 'cos depression is really so common and
I think it's important to talk about it as much as possible.

"It's weird for people who still have feelings to be around depressed people. They try to help you have feelings again so things can go back to normal, and it's frustrating for them when that doesn't happen. From their perspective, it seems like there has got to be some untapped source of happiness within you that you've simply lost track of, and if you could just see how beautiful things are..."

this blog is a really really intense perspective. and you're right... it's important to know to understand depression better.

Hi creepy and anime, thanks for having a look. =)
It's a very dark place to be emotionally and psychologically I think it's scary how people in this position
often don't know how to reach out or let some one know.

It is an intensely written piece I agree, but I love her sense of humour!
I can kind of relate too...

Depression also called as major depression, major depressive disorder, clinical depression is a medical illness that causes a constant feeling of lack of interest and sadness. Depression affects how the person behaves, feels, thinks. Depression can lead to physical and emotional problems. Usually people with depression find it hard to go about their daily activities, and may also feel that life is not worth living. Feeling sad or what is called depressed, happens to all of us. The sensation tends to passes after a while. However, people with a depressive disorder, clinical depression, find that their state interferes with everyday life. Their normal functioning is undermined to such an extent that both those and they who care about them are affected by it. Depression is a chronic mental disorder and mental state characterized by feeling of loneliness, sadness, low self-esteem, etc.

Depression sux

i was depressed for awhile, it comes and goes. but it's because of real life events (My father in law is very ill and near death and it has greatly depressed me)
this happens alot when people i know in my family or close to me are dying. It really brings my mood down and i cry alot and get so sad i can't do anything. Or i do the opposite and start cleaning and cleaning and my tears are blurring me while i'm crying. It's a horrible feeling to feel that you are powerless because anytime, life can be taken away. People come and go in our lives and they will pass onto the next life or wherever they will go (whichever religion, belief you believe in)
i'm not so depressed as much anymore, since my husband is my rock and he basically just helps me through this terrible process. i'm supposed to be there for him and i am everyday but emotionally, it seems he's the one holding me up.
