Hello, Sanada!
Quote:
If anyone can define it [depression] to me in a clear way i would be happy.
I cannot say I have suffered depression since birth. Depression has been with me for years, though, and I still struggle for a vocabulary to describe my experience to myself and others.

To greatly oversimplify, for me depression manifests not so much as emotional sadness but as a disease of the will, a severely decayed capacity for self-mobilization.

Sanada, how much of what you are currently experiencing is long-term depression versus grieving for your lost relationship? Perhaps it's not possible to disentangle them.
