SOME FOLKS DEPRESSION MAY BE CAUSED BY OTHER FOLKS WHOM CONTINUES TO BRING UNNECESSARY OBSTACLES IN A PERSON'S LIFE. SUCH AS A PERSON MAY HAVE BEEN SEXUALLY HARASSED ON THE JOB AND NOW HE/SHE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE COMPANY'S CROOKED ATTORNEY WHOM TRY TO GET A CASE DISMISSED OUTSIDE OF THE CITY THE CASE IS SUPPOSED TO BE HANDLED IN. SOME FOLKS MAY BE DEPRESSED BECAUSE THEY ARE READY TO SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE PERVERT. SOME FOLKS MAY BE DEPRESSED FOR REASON THAT THEY HAVE OTHER THINGS THEY WANT TO DO WITH THEMSELVES BUT IS ALWAYS SURROUNDED BY THE WRONG PEOPLE. SOME FOLKS MAY BE DEPRESSED BECAUSE THEY WILL LIKE TO RELOCATE TO TAKE A BREAK BUT THE SEXUALLY HARASSMENT CASE IS KEEPING THE ENTITY FROM LEAVING. I MEAN WE MUST FIRST FIND OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE INDIVIDUAL'S DEPRESSION.

I believe that nobody wants to walk around this world depressed. Everybody wants that person to find a cure, get over it, or suck it up; but what made the person depressed in the first place. How did the person lose their job? Why were they a victim of crime? How long ago did they experience a loss in their family? Why won't the memory fade? I believe the ability to forget is mercy, but society has a way of forcing certain people to relive the pain. These people are constantly reminded of their pain to inflict more pain. These people have been sent to Hell by good people doing evil things. Imagine getting fired by Red Cross for no good reason? Imagine fighting to help people and for that reason you are forced to endure the pain alone? Imagine going on national tv trying to get your life back and instead of sharing the truth, they edit your story to make you look worse? Imagine being "The Bush Fly" and you're forced to suffer in silence because the government is lying and the remedy for treason is death? You've been banned to Hell and forced to be depressed for the rest of your life. The Scientologists are laughing at your misery and station in life. There is no mercy. God could be using you to save this cruel world and you are depressed wondering why. They won't let you write a book because it won't be published. You can't keep a job because you can be fired "At Will." You can't address the situation because the government spies domestically and holds secret evidence they share with the business community to make you suffer economically. People don't do background checks to say yes. They do checks to keep people depressed.

QUITE OFTEN WHETHER WE WILL ADMIT TO IT OR NOT,,,FAMILY MEMBERS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DEPRESSION WITHIN OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, ESPECIALLY WITHIN WOMEN. PEOPLE ARE OFTEN SO CLUELESS OR INSENSITIVE TO THE PERSON'S SIGNS OF DEPRESSION THAT THEY OFTEN LABLE THE PERSON WITH OR THINK THE PERSON HAS A SERIOUS "ATTITUDE" PROBLEM. DEPRESSION IS WAY MORE DEEP AND SERIOUS THEN WHAT WE CONSIDER AS BEING ATTITUDE PROBLEM.

Ummm, Industrious, Cecil? You two sound as if you have a lot of personal things going on and by substituting the word "I" for words like "some people" and "other folks", just lets people know how depressed you really are. For if you are carrying around shame and you don't want to acknowledge that something happened to you, then that in which you speak of nonchalantly, will always come back to haunt you directly. Let it out. Let it go, and move on. People have bills, money woes, and family issues. People are dying at an alarming rate. And other people have no money, no family, or anything to really live for. If you can wake up, get up, and face everyday with any situation that has happened to you, then you can take action, and help change the course of your own lives. Take advantage of the infinite possibilities of help, and take back charge of your life.

I believe that we all know exactly where the problem lies when it comes to our depression issues. The problem is facing it and making the hard decisions it brings forth. So we make excuses, avoid others who very well may be able to help, and run from the problem which happens to be attached to you. You can't shake it you have to face it and take it one day at a time. Depression can kill you if you don't do something about it and try letting go. I lost someone very near and dear to me from depression. Yes family can be a big influence on your depression. So we have to try to face our problems head on and start living again.

I've been suffering from depression for over 10 years now, and IM only 21. It got worse when I turned 14. I was basically going crazy inside and I took it out of others that I shouldn't have. I've been done wrong some many times by so many people that it's carried with me for so long. All I was trying to do was be a good person, but other people, that thought it was ok to bring someone else down, ruined that for me. People always say you shouldn't let people bring you down and all of this, well IM sorry, it's hard to be uplifted when almost everyday of your life someone is trying to ruin you for no reason at all. Going into middle school and high school I was always a loner. Even now, being 21, I still feel alone even though I have my family. I missed out on a lot of things because of this.

LVL You are not alone. And as for missing out on a lot of things sweet heart you are young and have your whole life ahead of you. There are many people who suffer from depression including myself and I think I really noticed it when I was about thirteen or fourteen too. I think what got me on the path to recovery was knowing that God has a better plan for my life and really wants me to experience joy. That led me to make the conscience decision to get some help. I've been on anti-depressants for a time and I've seen a therapist. I am not the least bit ashamed and you shouldn't be either. The only shame is in caring what people thing so much that you neglect your own needs. It's not easy but you can get better and heal your emotional pain. Pray and ask God for guidance and you can come out of the darkness. I'm 37 and you know what I feel that my best days are ahead of me. I'm taking steps toward making my dreams come true. As for those negative people who bring you down, don't buy into their BS. Most negative people are broken and sad inside themselves and see no way out. Their only happiness is to bring others down. It appears that you have allowed them to take to much from you already. Don't give them anymore. Don't let them provoke you into acting out. Stay focused on getting yourself together. Forgive them so that you can have peace and get away from them if you can. Find positive people to be around that help build you up. Also learn to be your own best friend. Take evaluation of yourself and find things to love about yourself and stay focused on them adding to the list. Revisit a dream you may have had and try your best to make it come true. Even if you fail you dust yourself off and try again a little smarter and a little wiser. You can do it too sweetie. I'm saying a prayer for you now! God Bless you Baby!

And oh yeah people don't always know the source of their depression which is why it's good to seek help. This a was that you can be guided to explore different life experiences that may have contributed to the depression. We sometimes harbor repressed memories of traumatic episodes that the conscience mind isn't aware of. Also sometimes people need help in examining chains of events that lead to them spiraling into depression without knowing it.

I never thought it could happen to me, but it did in an awful way, and it is so real and only god knows how a person suffer at the hands of others. I worked for the federal government where I was sexually harrassed by a supervisor for over a year. When I decided to say something aboutit because I couldn't stop it my whole life changed in an instant.My employers turned my life around quick fast and in a hurry.I couldn't eat,sleep affraid to go outside,always fearing that someone was watching me and it was.I was affraid to go to my job fearing that I would be harmed in some way or another,I was in so much pain I couldn't understand why I was hurting so bad.All the things I was affraid of to me was so real and it still is real, I woke to go to work one morning afraid to go outside to my car because of the darkness and when I did get into my car to start it,it letout the most horrible boom, my fuel line had be cut on my car. I know depression is real I live with it daily and I'm getting help but I don't know how to let it go because the people I work for wont let it go. GOD's Child

I think it is important for everyone to know that depression is not always caused by events that may have taken place in one's life. Depression is a serious illness that can often be attributed to a physical cause in the body. As a person who has suffered from depression and the stigma associated with mental illness , I can say
even when I could look around and say "the Lord as Blessed me I have it made"- I still felt the sadness and loneliness. Yet, I was never alone and had all the love and support one could want.
