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.
