This is a summary of a lesson from Frederich Nietzsche that helped me: Your suffering and hardships are challenges to be overcome. Defeat them and you will come away stronger and better than those who have never suffered. Defeat depression and everything else in life is child’s play.

Defeat depression ?
Well depression surely isn’t an enemy in a particular place on a battle field to be sought and destroyed.
Situational depression can be overcome with time, because situations pass.
Clinical depression can be treated, yet there is seldom a line in the snad when we can say its defeated.
I do believe that as with most of lifes difficulties we can come out the other side with a stronger life. Yet we can also come out the other side weaker than when we started.
@caucajun32 People have gotten over their depression, situational and clinical thousands of times. . . and therefore the depression was “defeated”. . . but if you want to argue semantics go somewhere else.
“Yet we can also come out the other side weaker than when we started.” What are you talking about? If you were depressed when you started and then you beat your depression then you are not ever going to be weaker when you’re not depressed anymore you’ll be stronger. It’s called depression for a reason.
If only life conformed to the wise words of wise men. Unfortunately, real life is a little more complex.
I totally agree that depression can weaken you. It’s been feasting on me for close to a decade now. If I were ever to come out on the other side, I’d be dead tired, aged, have missed out on years worth of further education and employment, and would have missed what’s supposed to be the best part of your life: your youth.
Life isn’t a Christina Aguilera song. Life’s a *****.
