i've suffered from depression since I was a small child. I don't remember not being depressed. Ever! I've been on meds for probably over 40 years. And I too wondered why I was here. I knew God had a reason for putting me here but I didn't know what it was.
Then I started going to different forums on the web. I started with spinal disorders, because I have severe spinal problems, and I could help others with questions about surgeries, etc. So I joined several forums and helped alot of people.
Then I went to several "depression" forums because I'd been thru therapy for years, and perhaps I could help a person or two with depression.
I got to thinking that maybe that's why I was here. Just to help people with problems similar to mine. Maybe THAT'S my reason for being here.  Who knows? All I know is that it feels good when someone says thanks for helping, or they tell me that they feel better.  That's a reward better than a years salary doing anything else!
Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
