My depression was major, never chronic, but over the last month or two (or perhaps longer) it's been really bad. I don't even know what's causing it but I am seeing a therapist about it so we'll see if that nets any results for me.
Trust me, I want to scream and shout my issues to anyone who will listen, but I don't really know what to say so I usually keep it hidden or post some of my feelings here. I would much rather try to help others when they post so that's what a lot of my posts are about.
Some can't see beyond their own pain but I can kind of see why, particularly if their pain is intense. It's just how it is.
Sorry to hear you're a chronic depressed person, too, Aletheia. If there's anything I can do to help, don't hesitate to ask me.
