Depression...

To those who don't believe me about my depression status, check out my earlier postings on another board. I made it in January months before me and Mark got into our scuffle over anti-Depressants:

 

posting in january about my lack of feeling

 

I took the advice from my friends over at Jeff's fort and got checked; yes, I do have depression. I don't talk about it, nor do I express it like some others do through their blogs. Depression for me is different than how people view it, I don't mope around talking about how I dislike my life or feel overwhelming sadness; I feel apathy when it strikes. It happens and it goes; I find it is more easy to control or lessen, when you have a focus in life liking working long hours or reaching for a specific goal.

 

I don't talk about my childhood molestation either, because it just happened and I don't feel like talking on a blog makes it any different.

 

I'm 21 years old, but in my brief candle, I have experienced much. Pain, suffering heartache, personal betrayal of my own identity, losing faith, using emotional crutches, and other varied forms of negativity were felt or experienced.

 

Yet, I have also seen people helping out, friendships that last beyond, hopes that abound, and possibilities within everyone.

 

No life is ever truly full, but I have had much in my life to fill volumes.

I'm sorry that you're depressed.

 

I don't know your stand point on anti-depressants, but then what's it matter? You have to do what you feel is best for you. from my understanding, anti depressants work for some people, but not so much for others. You might decide to take em and dislike the effects they have on you. Its your personal choice. Personally, I don't like the idea of taking drugs to take me out of a deep deep abyss of depression. I find that I'd rather help myself, but some people, need other <peoples> <drugs> help in order to get through/over/help out... their depression.

 

I hope you're able to find the help that you need be it by yourself with the aid of a psychologist, or anti-depressants, or with the love and support of your friends and family.

 

Also just cause you're 21 years old doesn't mean that what you have gone through isn't any more or less painful then what some person walking on the street has gone through.... or that their experience is any more important than yours.... or what they have gone through is any worst or better than what you have gone through.

 

Anyways goodluck with your depression. :)
