Ya know, I sit here and think. Now just
imagine if everyone in the world that was
depressed would say "I'm over this and
outta here and end it all, do you know
there would probably be no one left on
this earth anymore.
We are all in the pretty much same boat
and if we all row that boat together in
the right direction, we might be able to
get to a better place.

Wa Wa Wa Wonder, Why Posted: 01-02-08 21:21pm
I have very strong suspicions that there
are very few actual depression cases base
on brain chemistry alone. I really wonder
about my own. I very much believe that I
just have real reasons to be depressed.
My son in-lay and daughter pillaged my
house, and trashed it around Thanksgiving.
She left with my grand daughter, and my
new born grand son, before I ever got to
see him.
I worked 46, 12hr nights in a row. The
last one I worked 20hrs. I came home
exhausted, and dirty to my home. There was
nothing left but trash. It was 4 days
before Christmas. I was scrambling like a
mad man to catch up on my bills. My mail
was lost. I still, today, need to catch up
on a couple of them.
I found my self sitting in a trash out
house, alone , on Christmas Eve. I left
messages with my church to find a place. I
never got a call back. I went to sleep
late. I woke up at 12:40 am. I couldn't
sleep. There wasn't anything open at that
hour, I just knew I had to get out. I
need gas. I found one station that had
just opened. I gave the young man a nice
Christmas tip. I started to cry. I went to
IHOP. I gave a waitress a very nice tip
for listening to me. I was in a terrible
state after that. It was 6am. I had
nowhere to go, and no one to talk too. I
had 18 hrs of Christmas to survive. I
figured it was better to do the smart
thing then, instead of the dumb thing
later. I checked into the emergency room.
By noon I was in the psych. ward. It was
a terrible place to be. I always have
trouble following rules, and I have thing
for authority. I was in trouble all the
time. When I couldn't get in any more
trouble, I would instigate others to do
so. I would have never got to leave if it
was up to the group therapist. After 4
days of hell, I got out. They have me on 4
different medication. I am starting to
feel better, now.
What does all this have to do with the
topic, you might ask?
I think most peoples depression is because
their lives were fecal matter, absolutely
nothing to do with random chemical brain
in balances. There is a definatly a causal
and effect going on. The same meds work.
Because, a crappy life leads to an
emballance. If those monsters that
control everything, that call themselves
normal, don't change their ways. Our
country, and the rest of the world will
just explode.

i think my problems are mostly from my
brain chemistry, even right now nothing is
really going wrong with my life besides
the fact im failing out of grade 12( which
is actually a huge problem but im just not
thinking about it), but yet i still feel
as bad as ever. like my brain is so messed
that sometimes my mouth cant produce
certain words, like a cd skipping or when
you have to wait for your comp to load, i
have to stop and concentrate so my brain
can work properly so i can just speak.
but my brains current messed up chemisty
is my fault, so hence my problems are all
my fault... maybe someday they can replace
the broken parts in me...
yah im just saying this to say that some
ppl are really depressed and nothing can
really change that without altering their
brains chemical balance through drugs
and/or cognative therapy, and trying that
can do more damage then good...
remember that everything we have ever felt
was because a lil chemical told us to feel
that way, and when the chemicals slack off
or get their stuff mixed up ppl dont act
or feel normal
but then again what do i know...

The bigger problem is some of the mice
have guns, and have cars they don't know
how to drive.
