How do you compare a ridiculous statement like what Carol
said w/ what I said?!? I assume that you have a "deeper" more meaningful
response? I was just trying to convey that our often self diagnosed
depression is merely the lack of knowing what is possible to do in life
anymore. None of us here are professionals, that I know of, so anything
that is said is just an opinion and a way that each of us deals with
things.
I apologize if it was a shallow opinion, but I don't
believe that dwelling on the negative can bring about positive results.
Who would Bobbie miss? Maybe the diverse and sometimes ridiculous
discussions on this group? I don't know. But, the best way I know to
help someone who's depressed is to not focus on their depression. Get them
involved in something, get them pissed enough about something that they want to
do something, whatever works to get the person back into the life that surrounds
us all.
You may or may not ever take me serious again, but that is
for you to decide. I care what people think and would like to know how you
came to your conclusions about my comments below.

what an incredibly shallow response...
this reads like "i'm not depressed so you have no reason to be depressed
either" you remind me of carol of new york who said, "why don't you
all drop your petty bitches and concentrate on getting better, and
walking"
it will be hard to take you seriously
ever again.

IMO, we American's are spoiled rotten. We get depressed over very little things compared to what others in the world must live with on a daily basis. Tired of bullshit, then stop spreading it. Trust me, none of us on this list are so underprivileged as to have any real issues to be depressed over for an extended period of time.We all have ups and downs, but our ups and downs are nothing.Definitions of depression on the Web:
- a mental state characterized by a pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity
Depression is when you become so self-involved that all you see is yourself and no one else.My cure for depression: Find something that has nothing to do with how you benefit yourself and go do it. There is always someone or something worse off than yourself. If you cannot think of things to do at your level, then ask. I'm certain each of us can come up with at least three things that you can go do.

Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] i'm so depressed i could throw upYes, i'm sure at times we all have felt that way, but even with all our problems, we survive like kings compared to quads in some other poor nations....I have seen programs on T.V. where quads and para's do not have hardly any help and no wheelchairs of ANY kind....They are so poor people place them in wagons and pull them to get them around. And though life is tough for us think of these poor mizerable souls. We just got to try and get by the best we can until our creator decides our time on earth is finished. I go thru highs and lows a lot, I think we all do....you'll be in my prayers.Dan
