Hey I know what you mean about the Afganistan thing. I find it easier to fight things I know the cause of rather than this depression crap. And I think it triggers the same emotional "neurons" as would be triggered if you actually were in more tangible horror.
In a way I feel like a hypocrite saying hang in there, having unsuccessfully "given up" a few times. Its practically impossible to pursue different options medications, doctors when you are battling the depression, but THERE IS HOPE
you just can't feel it right now.
I finally found the right Doctor after 10 years, job loss, relationship destruction loss of friends. and I'd forgotten all the reasons I'd wanted to live, they are creeping back, I could enjoy a book, a cup of tea. In the words of Andrew Solomon "depression doesn't mean your life isn't a mess but the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness are the depression".. please try and remember that.
