Oh Dr. Andy (Life's Complicated and there'll always be some sort of difficulty that can trigger anyone into darkness) Depression is like the vast murky ocean. Can't see a storm coming BUT once it hits -You'll feel like drowning. Battered&Beaten, You must KeepFocus&KeepAfloat or your past demons will try to get the best of you. My DARKEST days were like a decade ago. I got help but honestly I was never able to fully regain myself from the pre-depression era. **Am I depressed now? >not really (not suicidal) Do I cry often? (sometimes) Do I keep to myself? (frequently) IMPORTANT Words to keep constant are :(FAKE It- Till You Make It)-(Being a constant OPTIMIST and spreading joy is tough sometimes but it helps not only me but others who are going through pain) APPS like VENT & TalkLife are useful resources for anyone.
