Depression is a funny thing,you can't will it away, it just does not go away unless you take your medicine.


However I'll play I am a lucky person.

I have two arms two legs and a full head of hair, I am lucky. There is like no skill or great planning on my part that has brought me here today, i am one lucky dude. I am totally debt free because of my bankruptcy. Idon't owe money to anybody other than my parents, and I pay them rent as I am staying with them.

My health insurance covers my entire psychiatric condition for three hundred thirty dollars a month, that includes all my prescriptions, visits with th psychiatrist, and I am so high functioning I am not even close to having to go the hospital again.

I have not been to the hospital for seven years, I feel like I have recovered completely.

All I have to do is take my prescriptions at 9:00 pm or 8:00 pm and I am out by 12:00 am.

My life is good and I love it don't get me wrong it could be better but I am working on that and in September I will be working more and making more money. So here is to working more.

Cheers,

Thomas

-to add to this a bit. I tried this the other day and it helped to put things in perspective...

Think about the most essential things for survival. (hint for all you Americans out there, a television is not 'essential for survival') We need air to breath, food to eat, and shelter (clothing might be in there too). but seriously, think about it, that is really about all you need. God provided all the air you need, and in this day and age, most of us have easy access to a grocery store or market, and a roof and 4 walls make an acceptable shelter.

We DON'T NEED cell phones, music, forks, cars, gas, chairs, boats, guns, toys, movies, stores, air conditioning, humor, books, pianos, sidewalks, baseball, deoderant, soap, multiple clothing outfits, more than 1 pair of shoes, toothpaste, jewelry, paper plates, etc. These are nice, but think about it hard, we don't NEED these things.

Now. Think hard about the most basic things in life you need to survive. Do you have them? good. now everything else in your life is something extra that the Lord has blessed you with.

this has helped when trying to think of things to be thankful for.

now some of the good things in my life:
-bible
-salvation through Christ
-my fiance
-my loving family
-baseball
-floating down the river
-fishing
-fresh cut grass on a clear summer evening
-throwing football in the fall when the leaves are changing
-I have the ability to walk, run, jump, and play
-good food


hope everyone is having a blessed day!

That's the way to overcome . . . "all bad things come to an end" - TRUE !
