A doctor
once told me that depression is anger turned inward. That made me rather angry at the time, but I can understand it a bit better now. If only life were simple enough that one could just find the cause of that anger and change or remove it. Too often, we have circumstances beyond our control, or are they? Hopefully, answers will soon come to you from inside. Blessings.

Thanks Telynor
It helps to hear from others who have been through it.

I was diagnosed with depression almost four years ago after a suicide attempt that failed. It was probably the best thing that happened to me, as I was forced into getting treatment. Now I attend therapy and take my meds, it helps me in my fight to learn to live with this. But one of the best things was learning that there are others who have this, and that I don't have to do it alone. Hang in there, and get the treatment that you need. It can be overcome.

I can totally relate to this
when I'm down, I could careless about alot of stuff. People who haven't been through serious depression have a hard time understanding what it feels like to wake up feeling tired. Not only that but once you're on meds, it's no quarantee you'll feel better right away or ever feel better. The worst is going through life with this nagging feeling that everything you're doing seems totally pointless.

I've been there. I had boyfriend that would get so mad at me for not doing things that he thought I should be doing.Like you said, I just didn't care.
