Hi guys ,I've had depression for 21 years,it's bollocks!!! When it kicks in,so does self doubt,paranoia,black thoughts,The list goes on.I can't even go out sometimes I'll have my batteries charged ,everything! Just too down to do it. Rc helps,I get frustrated with the trucks instead of my own insecurities. I got sick dog syndrome with my mlst,it's cost £ 250 to try and get it running.And it still won't work!!!!!!.

Well it sounds like you stepped in some dog$hit and have not been able to get it off of your shoe for some reason or antother. Sorry for me it is simple. I just refuse to let anything or anyone keep me down for too long. When I divorced my 2nd wife and she moved 4000 miles away with our kids just to prove a point I thought my life was pure $hit. I was depressed for a few months while I muddled around in the hosue remembering every little thing the kids did in that house. I had good friends who tried to help me out of it, but the bottom line is it is all up to us to find our own way out the the crap when it hits the fan.

I knew I had to find a way to overcome the craphole she left me in, and there was no one to blame but myself if I let it keep me down. There are positive aspects to every little thing that happens to us, but we have to see them and move on for our own good will. I rebuilt my life, and found a way to pay off every debt no matter how hard she tried to make my life. I missed my kids terribly and it was hard to move on without them in my daily life. That was in 2000. In 2004 I was working two full time jobs and had three room mates paying me rent. I met my thrid wife, and #2 was diagnosed with breast cancer in Jan/2004. In 2008 #2 past away and we now have custody of my three youngest children.

Life handed me a basket of crap in 2000, but I held my ground and overcame everything that was thrown at me for several years until I was able to see the light and move on with life and live it the best way that I knew how. Now in 2010 life is good and I wake up with a smile every morning knowing what the day holds for us. We push our kids hard, but we also let them know every single day that they are loved, and we know that there will be rewards for every one of us if we work hard and do what is right no matter what crap we may step in along the way.

We all have the same choices in life and it is up to us how we lay our own groundwork along the way so that the later years may be kind to us. No whining or self pitty will help make that route a positive one.

Hi.I see your of the pick yourself up way of thinking.If only! My depression is genetic,grandma,mum,aunt,cousins(1 dead) and sister. I've been on pills forever,anti psychotics damaged the nerves in my feet.and made me trip out when I was driving. Some people just can't do it.Years back they'd have tied me to a tree in the forest,and visited every 2 weeks with food.
