Googley have you always been depressed? Maybe this is just a reoccuring feeling and you have to keep this in mind. Depression will come, depression will go.

Hell, I'm not doing anything and I feel low. I have absolutely nothing that is stressing me out. And yet...

Yeah, it's just me. It's me, its our brain chemistry ****ing with us telling us the whole bloody damned world is coming to an end.

I read DC comics Googley and in particular, I read Green Lantern comics. There is a corps of lanterns called the Blue Lantern Corps. They have an oath that goes something like this:

"In fearful day, in raging night,
With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,
When all seems lost in the War of Light,
Look to the stars-- For hope burns bright!
—Ganthet and Sayd, Green Lantern (vol. 4) #36 (December 2008)


Hope is a very important thing when one suffers from Depression I think, for depression is the very thing that darkens our outlook on life and urges us to not have hope. To give up.

Yesterday, i saw Survivorman with Les Stroud. He got dropped off from a helicopter on the top of a mountain in the middle of no where. I said to myself "haha I'd give up right then and there when the helicoptor left instead of trying to survive." and then I realized it was my depression talking to me. This is a perfect example of what depression does to us. It saps us of our zest for life and our will to live, to strive and keep our morale up.

It is hopelessness even more than pain that crushes the soul.”-William Styron
Thanks for this!
