While antidepressants won't be anything but a crutch if your depression is genetic, they can be a useful assist in getting up and out of the valley of despair if the depression is situational. It's time to seek help from a psychiatrist, psychologist, or even your family physician.Clayton Cramerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258083387204776812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-48630517162108808002012-03-19T17:45:38.486-06:002012-03-19T17:45:38.486-06:00I'm going through a dark time in my life right...I'm going through a dark time in my life right now; sometimes I feel completely useless, and burned out. The idea of crawling into an obscure place in the building I work at and just "ending it" has crossed my mind once or twice; and it's a little scary to realise that I carry an instrument that can be used to these ends: a Swiss Army knife. Actually, I carry two, because I have a tiny one with my keys, and even a tiny knife is enough to use for such ends.<br /><br />Really, if you decide to end things, there isn't much others can do to stop things!<br /><br />Indeed, the two things that keep me going from day to day is, first, I cannot bear to bring the sadness to my family, that I felt (and still feel) when my father died from an accident over a year ago. I love them too much, and I love being with them, too.<br /><br />And second, keeping the phrase "This too shall pass" in my mind. While I may feel miserable right now, I know there are better days ahead, and I want to be around to see them!<br /><br />Well, ok, perhaps not so much at a governmental level, but then, if government goes all to pot, I want to do all I can to help my family through it, and to help re-establish a government that would actually recognise our freedoms as well, for myself and my children.<br /><br />In any case, it's not being banned from guns that's keeping me alive (I'm not banned from guns, and I currently don't carry, either), but a will to live, even when I feel I'm in my darkest hour at this time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
