I know. I feel it too. It sucks.

Sometimes, though, when I have breaks in the depression, I am able to think to myself, "maybe this can be used for some good ... this depression is making me much more empathetic to other people's suffering..."

And on good days, I can even think things like, "at least I can walk and see and hear. At least there are doctors and therapists and meds out there that can hopefully help me someday. Maybe I'm not as bad off as I could be."

But believe me, I know that I can't always think that way. The depression takes hold and nothing seems positive.

Just hang in there, and know that there are hundreds and thousands of people who feel the same way you do ... you are not alone. This board is just a small representation of all the people who suffer from this same disease.

And there is help out there...

hang in there, friend.

> Why were we chosen as the ones to suffer? Why must I endure days on end of depression and anxiety? Instead of spending my time with hobbies, family, career as others do, I spend it with psychiatrist, social workers, pharmacists. I spend it trying to fix my brain. Oh, just to feel again .... to laugh, cry, love, daydream. No, just pain. This is the path God has chosen for me. Why I was chosen, will never know. Why I would trade my life for just one normal year of existence, just one year.
