Highfive. Lot of depressed people on here tonight. Go figure. Lately it has become worse for me, I'm almost paralyzed with it today.
I am trying to be grateful for what I have, but I am just so tired. So tired of the struggle, the pain. I think I have wanted to quit since I was a child.
What I love and seek most is just sleep, but tonight that evades me. How ironic that in many cases the more depressed one becomes, the more sleep becomes disturbed. Like that last little bit of relief has to be snatched away.
Great world.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 47738676 I have been paralyzed with depression, too. How could we not be depressed with the things that are happening around us? And what can we do about it? Yes, yes this is how I've felt a majority of my life, and still do on odd days, but I'm beginning to realize something lately...(unless one has been diagnosed with a chemical imbalance such as clinical chronic depression) it really is a CHOICE to be happy. I had convinced myself that life sucks, that being negative, being depressed, was the only legitimate and honest emotion to have when faced with the realities of life. But why am I choosing to be miserable when I can just as easily choose to be happy? Who does it hurt when I'm in a negative, pessimistic state of mind? Myself. And anyone around me. We must live this life for there is no alternative so why not make it easier on ourselves. We really can change our thought patterns if we want to. But it does take an awakening. And I'm not altogether sure that one can force the awakening. For me, it came of its own accord.
