Depression: Current thoughts.
On a personal note, I have battled Major depression Disorder for about 12 years. To force my self to do something can be simply impossible. However since March I have had some relief. I could go a week or more without giving suicide serious thought. I am heading into another low. you get to recognize the symptoms. Hopelessness, Sadness, Guilt, Frustration (anger management). Profound lethergy, (If you know someone like this, before you call them a lazy bum, judge also what is behind it.) I feel those thoughts myself. I am the worst of the worst in every category. (symptomtic of Depression). "You should take me out and shoot me." Is a common conclusion in my mind. People with Major Depression have a hard time believing there is some other solution to a problem besides death. A psych worker once told me, "dying *may* be a solution to a problem but it is a permanent solution to what probably is a temporary problem.," I think that thought was a line that helped keep this ship tied to the dock.
