I believe with all my heart that you can have JOY even in depression. In this video I talk about that and topics of Infertility & Suicide. {[The Joy of the Lord is your strength]} [{...for the joy set before Him He endured the cross.}]

Thank you so much for your support at my YouTube Channel! You are helping make a difference by pointing others to HOPE as well:)

Do you have any favorite websites or YouTube channels that encourage and uplift those with depression? Can you share them with me? One reason I have started my YouTube channel is because I can't find much out there.
Thanks from Her Depression:)

Dude. You can have any emotion in depression.

Depression's like the blanket. Joy might be the embroidered bunny on the blanket.

You can have the full range of life emotions, but the depression's still there in the background. Depression takes ages to cure from. A year, two years. And in the meantime you still have birthdays and Christmases and visits to the zoo.

Im extremely depressed, but can lie on the couch and watch something funny and laugh. I laugh knowing full well that life is meaningless and everything dies.

I think YES, if you USE the depression to CREATE or PRODUCE something, like art. Some of the most successful music artists had their biggest hits in songs they wrote while deeply depressed.

Listen to the music of Pink Floyd! Comfortably Numb, Another Brick in the Wall, Goodbye, Blue Sky, The Trial, Welcome to the Machine, Wish You Were Here, Money, Time...Roger Waters is a deep, tormented soul whose music and lyrics really probe all the shades and colors of what it's like to be depressed.

Wow, Koolman I was just listening to PInk Floyd and thinking about my own state of mind. Interesting. And yes I believe that you can have joy while depressed although I it's only happened to me a couple of times for only brief moments during my last 23 years of depression.

I believe you can be distracted from sadness with moments of joy, yes.
