Have you ever wondered if maybe having depression is the normal reaction to life and maybe everybody who is not depressed is living in denial or something? I mean there are enough reasons to be depressed aren't there?

I guess the country I live in probably doesn't help much, since there are daily murders, rapes and robberies. Even though I avoid news and newspapers you still hear about it. I just think the world has become a terrible place. How can anyone say life is a gift???

I just think sometimes that depression is a very real and realistic reaction to a totally screwed up world. So I'm going to be wasting my life at work until I'm too old to enjoy retirement? I get so bored that I just want to run screaming down the street. Living just seems like an aweful way to spend my life.

Sorry, needed to get that out there. Here's hoping everyone finds the strength to keep on fighting till everything makes sense.
