you are not alone
Your experience with depression sounds similar to mine. Lifetime affliction, don't feel like I belong anywhere. Nobody understands me or even seems to care to. Maybe we just think too deeply and should just worry about shoes and hairdos like everyone else. Sometimes just telling your story to a caring ear can help. I hope the counseling helps you to see things from a different angle. Glad you took the step and joined blogit; you are a survivor. All the best, Michele

Re: Re: reply
I remember as a child feeling a deep sadness for no apparent reason. It followed me into me adult life. I have had many low points in my life and had a very hard time growing up. i blame this for my depression. i thought that everyone gets depressed at times but i didnt believe i had depression. though i seem to be depressed more than happy.i have started talking to a councellor but how it is going to help me,so far i dont know. i suppose i have been depressed my whole life. its depressing to admit. I will break free when i die. I have always questioned my existence and believd i was sent to the wrong planet. Sometimes nothing makes sense. I fear medication i fear this world.

Re: reply
How long have you been suffering w/ depression? How do you see yourself breaking free? Have you ever known life w/out depression? I am one of the people who resisted medication until I could barely function. They have helped me tremendously but as you say they are not for everyone. I think blogging can help. There is a stigma attached with taking the medication or for being depressed "when there is no reason for it". I have long wrestled with the why's of depression.

Yes i know as i do suffer with depression too. I am interested in what else you have to say on the topic. they say 4 out of 5 people have suffered with depression or some kind of mental illness at least once in their life, thats a huge number. Doctors treat depression with a pill i wont take it as i believe it masks a problem rather than get at the root. I dont think depression is always mental illness rather a cumulation of events in ones life that lead them to this outcome. Our lives are made to busy and complecated i just dont feel this is what was meant to become of the world of us, it just doesnt have to be this way but the human ego have forced this upon us,... I cant wait to be free
