…its hard… It’s harder…and occasionally it’s on super extraordinary hard mode…
I’m an old member who thought I was done with this place…. Right… Not even close. I won’t say I wish I was dead. But I wish I could free myself ….
After retrospectively examining every second prior to this I now understand that it all boils down to choices….
There isn’t anything stopping us from making better choices.
Seriously just think of a few choices in your everyday life that could drastically change your life. Something as simple as a bus ticket can change your life. If you are underage a new book, look, game or friend can produce these changes too.
Depression is hard and I’m still fighting but I had an epiphany in my latest bout with it…. I can’t win against the depression…. That’s not the goal… I want simply not to lose. This means occupying my time with meaningful productive things so that eventually the fight will be declared a draw…always remember that time goes on. It won’t be easy…. So why give up easily. I’m going to keep fighting until I have nothing left

wb kurt, hope things are going well.
you’re clearly not doing better, but I think you get what I mean. I hope you can survive in the battle with depression, I have had a similar realization as well. There is no getting over it, it is something that you learn to live with. In reality, we can never be satisfied because that isn’t a part of human nature, but I think there are different levels of achievement that can brings us some minor feelings of triumph. Triumph and good choices can sometimes carry us through the dreadful thick of depression.
Im glad your still alive. Keep up the good fight. Im proud of you. Dont be scared to ask for help when the darkness comes. And tell the shadow people your not gonna listen to them anymore.

Wow look at all these old names I haven’t seen in ages, coming out of the woodwork. PainNlife, I hope that shows you that you’ve made a difference in people’s lives.
I hear what you’re saying, particularly about the small choices we make each day what they can accomplish. You’re right, so many survival/success stories hinge on 1 life changing event. So we should all keep in mind that that 1 event could be just around the corner. But we have to be ready for it, looking for it, and most importantly willing to accept it.
Although I’m sure it’s not under the best of circumstances for you, I’m really glad to see you here again.
