You largely constructed your depression. It wasn't given to you. Therefore, you can deconstruct it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I thought depression was the part of my character that made me worthwhile. I thought so little of myself, felt that I had such scant offerings to give to the world, that the one thing that justified my existence at all was my agony.
I am not a depressive person at all.
As far as I was concerned, the Depression was an ill wind that blew some good. If it hadn't occurred, my parents would have given me my college education. As it was, I had to scrabble for it.
The authority of depression is horrifying. I felt like my brain was busted and that I could never feel good again. I really thought that I was never gonna heal.
In treatment, all of the negative things I did were stripped away and I had to start processing my feelings.
It's like you asked me about the depression thing: you grope towards an understanding of whatever it is your going through, and it's not personal, there are forces in play around you, and you seek to understand them and that way you can go on.
Depression is the inability to construct a future.
You never really shake depression and that's a tough road you have to deal with.
I still get awful depression. It's who I am.
Depression is so treacherous - it can be so alluring as well as punishing. After all, it's yours and yours alone - no one else can interfere with it.
