There is a huge difference between being a bit sad and being profoundly depressed. Clinical depression is not simple sadness. It is more like an oppressive state of misery. Unfortunately in everyday conversation we use the same word (depression) to cover everything from beign under the weather to stuporose or suicidal

I used to be a psychiatric nurse and there is a history of depression in my family, in case anyone is wondering where I'm coming from

Get some help depression isn't something to ignore, I wouldn't worry about what other people think looking after yourself comes first

[mitch]

I think if youve got a reason to be depressed then its a natural state of affairs for us emotionally driven humans to be so.However if your Robbie Williams etc and your depressed,then your a cunt.Happiness is not our natural state,it has little value in evolutionary terms as it promotes inersia. Dont feel bad about being depressed Simmy,life is shit cos its meant to be.

Shit mate sounds like your not having a good time, i feel for you dude as it cant be easy on your family seeing you in such a way.


Keep your head up simmy and just try and be positive for your newborn baby mate and hopefully life will take a better turn for you pal.
