    My psychiatrist told me, when I was rock bottom and sure there was no way of coming up again, that there is ALWAYS a way. It might mean some to ing and fro ing to find the right way for you, but it is possible. I've suffered depression for 25 years, but this psychiatrist has managed to keep me on a relatively even keel for over 3 years to date. Please don't give up
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I would just feel like a hypocrit. I will endeavour to try though I promise.

    I agree with Suzi just post here rather than just post links.

    I've followed the link you posted and read your blog which describes the feelings of depression very eloquently.

    Have you seen your GP or got counselling?

    Could you not use your obvious talent of writing to a more positive effect?

    Talking here rather through a blog gives you the option of talking with people who truly understand what you're going through. For instance, I want to tell you that there are some (many) people who are able to cope with living with someone who has depression, that, at 33, your life isn't over and you can start anew. But that's a conversation to have, and reading a blog is not the same

    Posting a blog is ok but you need to follow that up with a two way conversation on a forum like DWD.
