Thanks for posting this. Too many folks think a pep talk and a prayer will get ya going. It is a horrible experience. If you are suffering from it GET HELP! You are not alone.
I never thought this was me. I fought it. I didn’t have depression, I’d continually tell myself. I’m not sure I even believed in depression. Doesn’t everyone get sad? But it went so far beyond to the point where it was nearly impossible to function. I did get help and am doing much better. I hope it remains that way because I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
It’s not depression, it is the human condition, realizing life sucks and there is very little one can do about it, then we get old and broken down, friends betray you and furthermore there is no point to all this suffering.
Not depression but anxiety disorder here, eleven years ago. And one cannot pull ones self up by the boot straps. It took me medication, therapy, and time. It was what they call situational in that it was triggered by several significant life changing events. I’m better now but will never forget it.
Depression is the LARGEST untreated disease in the world, unfortunately people hear “crazy” and fight treatment.
A better understanding of what it is and what it is NOT needs to be made available to help those suffering from it.
By the way... post on this thread and admit to having EVER had depression in your life, and you should fully expect to be placed on a list for a future no-knock raid to confiscate all your firearms.
According to a Marine Corps Gunny, real men don’t get sad!

used by life situations.
Then the chemical changes kick in.
You just have to muddle through it and change the situation.
Anti depressesants are poison.
Don’t take anti-depressants unless you want to get worse.
