So I'm depressed. And no one knows. I am generally functional when depressed; i.e., I get out of bed, take care of the kids, go to work. But I know. No one else does though. I told my best girlfriend, but that is it. I don't even know why I'm depressed short of the obvious reasons. But even the obvious reasons haven't changed. I have no plan to combat it either. Usually I just try and keep myself busy so I don't have to think about it. I think part of it is that I'm slowing down my life, living in the moment. I think that is just hard for me to do.

I too suffer from depression have for many years. It\'s really hard sometimes to keep on keeping on. I try to keep in mind ... JOY ... I need to slow down each day take time out and think ok what really brings me JOY.. Keep it simple I love to hear the birds sing so i will take quite time to listen and sure enough I hear them .. Then i take it all in and there will come a peace over me to go on.
