I like this...."Maybe being stubborn about it keeps us stuck there until we learn our lesson so we can move on. " That is a lesson in itself

I agree with you in the fact that noone should have to suffer with the grips of depression...noone asks for it. The only thing I like to look at is that if we didn't have these struggles...where would we be? I look at it like a treadmill....going with no direction....and then someday something happens...it could be that you woke up and said that's it - no more...or you felt that cold splash of water on your face and decided then and there.

It is when we want to recover - and I mean really want it...isn't that what these lessons are all about? We learn about ourselves in the process and if we weren't in the grips of this ugly monster...we would have learned nothing.
