dear Nes, that's lovely and how true it is.
We all change once we have had depression, because the time we were in hell and the people who have not nor ever supported us, are the fake ones, not us, but them, so as we climb out of this black hole, the lesson we learn is of knowledge and understanding not only for ourselves but for all those that are still stuck at the bottom of this hole, or can't quite make it to the top, so they need help, advice and love to encourage them to finally come to the top, and if by any chance they fall back into this hole, we reach out and grab their hand, stopping them from going to the bottom again. L Geoff. x

Hi Nes
How true it is. Having depression has changed my life and the life of those around me. Whether it's for the best I don't know. All I know is that why do we all have to suffer this terrible illness. Why us?
We are all special people hurting; suffering; trying to get better. And we are all suffering at different levels but still we are here because we understand what each and every one of us is going through. We get it.
Take care Nes

Hey Nes
goodness that post is just wonderful and thank you for posting it.
It unfortunately is true the suffering has always taught me something when I came through it. It has taught me how to care for others in a healthier way but it starts with me first and them second.
when I am feeling good I have noticed that I have really wonderful conversations with people like yourself and that is all I need somedays.
I have found so much intellect, caring, genuine concern for a fellow humans and the depth is amazing.
when I was sent away for a two week holiday I called it I never forget what I saw and felt off course even though I was as dark as charcoal on myself.
the patients there appeared to me to be stuck on something while of course I did not find our what exactly their stories where. some I did.
I wake up 14 years later saying ok heres another day lets check out whats up with the day,
I would not attempt answer anything for anyone because I know the value of sorting things our for myself but maybe thats just my thing, Heaven knows how many times people have said to me you are so strong. Little did they know what was wiggling in side of me. ha,,,,Its so cool I laugh at myself now so I guess thats all I wish for others is to laugh at your attempts to hurt yourself because if they are still here I would be straight up and Ask
'So you still wake up everyday?
"What's that about then, someone does not want you yet so up you get do your stuff then.
If you can not move you can still speak or write something.
Body tired brain dead ok stay till ready then move thing is you still not dead.
How do I know this to be true because in all that suffering I had my horror was the heart by pass and the next day nursey comes in and say we are getting you up and about today.Well shoot me now is all I thought.
But I did it and I wake up everyday some days dead boring others dead lonely others just brilliant I call it life.
Cheers Nes
