Why cant I be strong anymore?

This is a question I ask myself, or at least used to ask myself. At this point in my attempts to understand I believe it's part of the nature of depression.
A structure has a certain amount of inherent resistance to shocks. Some structures have more resistance than others. No matter the structure, though, a combination of shocks over time or severe shocks will push that resistance to it limits and sometimes beyond. Eventually the structure collapses.
The analogy is for human emotional-psychological resilience. It's not unbreakable. When it breaks it's time to rebuild, but rebuilding almost always requires rest and help.
Please make yourself at home.
