Exactly, he has often asked me in the past why I am depressed when my life is good right now and I honestly don't have an answer for it, I wonder the same thing myself all the time! I think it's great that there is so much information available these days but at the same time it can be so overwhelming for someone who doesn't know anything about it, if he had just googled it for himself and I don't think he'd be any closer to understanding me than he is right now!
I’ve had depression all my life and the vast majority of my crises are not even remotely linked to what’s going on in my life. I’m naturally a positive person and an extrovert yet when I’m ill, I’m a completely different person. It’s an illness, not a state of mind.
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.
