In a way if you find outlets you can probably live with depression quite easily. At least that's what I tell myself sometimes, it isn't easy though and especially when you can't predict how you'll feel when you get up that day... Using myself as an example, I wake up It takes me about 10 minutes to be able to pinpoint what I'm feeling and usually it's depressed, mellow or neutral, and I mean completely and utterly neutral. But as others have said it also depends on the severity of it...
