Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I feel like I am doing well so let me give you a perspective. Everyone gets some shit. Some wealthy guy has a wife who is unhappy, children may have a disability, life involves challenges. Successful and happy people realize that is part of life. There was a good Twilight Son episode. A former bank robber dies and is met by a guide.
There are great dinners, nights out, women who adore him. He tires of it and then wonders how he ended in heaven and the man smiles, you are in the other place, the moral being getting everything you want could be frustrating and without challenge. Adam and Eve could have relaxed but instead chose the ups and downs of life. So I think you have to recognize that it's part of life

And I agree, joneszy, people who have depression, in addition to dealing with the ups and downs of life, are also dealing with their own internal demons of fragile emotions.
I do a lot of bicycling, set my mind on a goal, a direction and achieve it. Feeling the wind on my face, seeing the sidewalk race under my feet, knowing that my own muscles are propelling me, creating this speed, strength and endurance...there's nothing like it...makes me feel I can handle ANYTHING...and I can.
That is why it's so terrible.
