When you are depressed, how do you manage to not be a pessimist? How do you manage not to say "oh woe is me?" Is it just a matter of shutting your mouth? When I am miserable, it is all I can do to think about how bad it is (and I am not always like that). Thinking about how many people have it so much worse (while so true) and being thankful for what I have (there is so much) seems like a far cry. Even this makes me sad and makes me feel like a failure. I feel like I abuse my supports by complaining (they would disagree but I wonder if they are just being nice). How do you find glimmers of yourself in the midst of darkness? How do you fight, especially if you are week? (Sorry so many questions
 )

Wow, thank you so much for looking that up for me. I wasn't expecting that kind of factual response and didn't think to look for it myself. I've read the first article so far and it makes perfect sense. I have heard something like that but never think about it while low.
