I think it was John Lennon who said something like,
"Life is what happens when you are waiting for something to happen"
or something like that (I am sure I will be corrected by some of our well-read posters).
But I think I know what you mean, Scott---feeling like the struggle goes on and on just to get to a point where living can happen.
I guess I am fortunate that my depression has finally gone into something of a remission, although I still have to dig myself out of the hole I dug myself into.
I also realized at some point that I have to consider this the real thing and not the "dress rehearsal"---this is life, maybe not what I had hoped for, but it is life. It is my life.
If life is a journey, what is the destination? There is none, really, because then the journey would be over. I have to think of it as a journey with resting places along the way where I can feel little bits of accomplishment.
Scott, you rarely post on the social board, so I am so glad you did. Your post conveyed difficulty feeling hopeful. That worries me. Say more.
Lots of people here have been helped by your information and support, now we'd like to give something back to you.
