Tackling Depression - My Theory

Depression or as Freu called it "everyday misery" - 'A condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason.'

A definition any depressed person, or person that has suffered from depression will be able to relate to.

I'd like to raise something in this article that i've spent a lot of time in the past talking to friends about. It's something i feel a lot of depressed people don't always consider enough.

I am smart, sociable and very articulate and yet when I get into these horrible crisis i simply banish and become someone else. And I think that It is so obvius that something is wrong, something out of my control and yet I always hear people tell to be strong, to try hard, to do my best....gee it's like if they don't tell me it would never ocurr to me to try ( I'm being sarcastic)..there was a guy the other day telling me that if I had his job and had to wake up at 5.am and work my butt out as he does all damn day long I wouldn't have time to feel depressed because I would be so freaking tired, so pretty much He told me that I was just lazy....I just walked away from him without even replying to his stupidity as I saw no point in doing so. How can someone think that I 37 year old woman, or anyone for that matter would actually enjoy being this way and not have a normal ( whatever that actually means) when I could actually be doing so much with my life instead of being trapped in my ownself....the world is full of ignorance I am afraid, and it is thanks to that ignorance that a lot of us have to suffer. not only do we suffer because we are ill but also because people judge us in a very cruel way. In this sociaty we are not alllowed to get mentally ill, it is still a taboo,. like someone said to me "It is all in your head SIlvia" hello of course it is I said....get what I'm saying...sometimes I feel like I'm surreaded by idiots, or perhaps i am the only idiot surruedind them....who knows....but here I am still fighting this moster within me, most of the time I feel alone in this but I actually I am not for there are so many people out there in the same position as me.I hope that you guys find someone understaing enough or at least tolerating enough for depression is almost imposible to undestand unless you have actually gone trough it...
best wishes to all of you. keep fighting and don't give up..
