Ever quit antidepressants? The media is telling stories...
#21
There are those who maintain that such things as depression are spiritual, or distinctly non-physical.  Perhaps that is partially true.  I know that aside from increasing physical health and vitality, prayer and meditation are the only 'sure fire' answers to coping with depression.  That's has to mean something... At least I think it does.

But there's no denying that pills can help for a time... as many things can help... for a time.  That's the rub.  Depression for me is something that comes over me, always unwanted, often unexpected, and once its with me it seems an eternity in withdrawing. 

I remember one day last year, I woke up to an unusual sensation... I wasn't depressed.  It was glorious.  It was all too brief, lasting only a few days.  I keep waiting for that to happen again.  Maybe it will.  But I'm not counting on it.

I had hoped to discuss this pretty much as we have.  I won't deny that I am still wincing internally about what my personal experience relating to this whole subject.  In a manner of speaking, I wish more would join the conversation... just to drown out my noise... this is not precisely how I like to be alone.
