But, I know this current feeling will pass...it always does.
So, can only imagine the hell of feeling depressed 24/7...

this actually isnt depression. it's being sad for a predicament. sure.
i was actually confused about the difference and mentioned it to my doc. she sent me to a depression workshop. it was 6-7 evening classes, one day a week. i didnt miss a single one. it was clear early on, i was not clinically depressed. i was sad about some stupid event (coincidentally, i cant even remember the event anymore). i stuck it out, just to learn a thing or two.
some of the people in my class..yea, a group hug and a high-five wasnt gonna cut it. they had magical thinking, etc. real deep dark depression. your mind playing jokes on you. eye opening.
i think i'll recongnize it if it strikes me. i hope so. right now. group hug OR an high-five, i'm good.
