I don't know I went through a year of dark depression but I also had a lot of financial problems going on, had to file bankruptcy, because of my state of mind it took me 9 months to get my paperwork completed for the attorney, once the bankruptcy was finalized I did feel like a weight had been lifted but the depression lingered I thought this was situational but was it? I just started going to the gym two weeks ago and guess what, the depression is lifting, I know I'm doing something good
for myself and I'm feeling better...a totally different situation now. I'm on a lot of meds, are the meds doing this or is it the exercise, whatever it is I'll take it. I haven't missed work, I haven't laid in bed in the pitch black bedroom feeling like the worst person on the world and undeserving of love, etc. Like I said I don't know, was the last depressive episode situational or chemical? Maybe a bit of both.
