Re: Depression or existential despair? So lost...

In reply to Depression or existential despair? So lost..., posted by uncouth on September 23, 2009, at 18:55:14

The post compelled me to join this website. Now after registering, I see that the post is over 3 years old. So I see the chances of having any dialogue with "uncouth" as kind of remote.

But, for what it's worth, here's what I am driven to put out there: Great Job, uncouth! Well articulated. I feel for you. For the first time in my life, I see my own experience with depression well described.

Now I know the name for what is wrong with me. It's not a "brain disease." It's called "existential despair." I'm not the only one who has it. Yeah, we're depressed. Maybe we do have encephalopathy. But there is more insight shown in this post than in all that I've been told by all the psychotherapeutic professionals I've ever talked with.

Wherever you are, uncouth, I hope you didn't off yourself. I hope you did find a nice job and a nice girlfriend. I hope there is a way out of existential despair. Maybe you found a way . . . for you. Good Job! - if you did. You were pretty far gone in that direction. I hope you found your way. I'll bet it wasn't simple . . . and still isn't. I hope you are okay . . . or more okay than you were in 2009. I'm sure you are much beloved of God, if there is God.
