understanding depression
I never thought depression was REAL, or that people suffering from depression were weak... but now I feel it everyday. I do not feel any kind of hope for my or our country's (planet's) future. LONG list of disturbing atrocities by the human populace and by our governments. Selfish egotistical people with power and ignorant uneducated people pushing for entitlements instead of anyone honestly working. I don't know. I am ready for my life to end just don't want to hurt my family.

I have suffered with depression and it is not an easy illness to control or be cured from. I’m lucky in that I found the proper professionals to help me overcome my depression. One thing I learned while in treatment is our perception is off as the depression cause us to see things through the fog of depression causing thing to appear differently then they are.
I’m not saying that some of the things you feel is causing your depression are not real. Some are very real though they are beyond your control to correct. Control is an important part of depression for that which you cannot control causes anxiety, which causes real pain, which causes depression.
The best you can do is to accept what is beyond your control and to work at fixing what you can. How you do this with the help of professionals such as a psychologist and possibly a psychiatrist for medication and med monitoring. You start with a full physical, which is needed to rule out any organic cause for your depression. Ask your doctor to screen you for depression while you are having your physical. Then follow your doctors’ advice.
