You bunch of overpaid useless tie wearing adolescentsA tourist walks into a pet shop and is browsing around the cages on display. While he's there, another customer walks in and says to the shopkeeper, "I'll have a CS monkey, please."
The shopkeeper nods, goes over to a cage at the side of the shop and takes out a monkey. He fits a collar and leash and hands it to the customer, saying "That'll be $5000." The customer pays and walks out with his monkey. Startled, the tourist goes over to the shopkeeper and says "That was a very expensive monkey. Most of them are only a few hundred dollars. Why did it cost so much?"
"Ah!, that monkey can program the CS, very fast, tight code, no bugs or , well worth the money." The tourist looks at the monkey in another cage. "That one's even more expensive, $10.000! What does he do?" "Oh!, that one's a CS monkey. It can manage object-oriented programming, Pscodes, Visualise CS, even some Java, all the real useful stuff."
The tourist looks around for a little longer and sees a third monkey in a cage of its own The price tag around its neck says $50.000. He gasps to the shopkeeper, "That one costs more than all the others put together! What on earth does it do?"
"Well, I haven't actually seen him do anything, but he says he's a
My life is good and sometimes I feel a dark cloud hanging over me. A woman once told me to fake it, tell yourself everything is wonderful. Let me remind you. I hate fake people. After awhile I started to believe everything was wonderful, and it was.
thewall2: WHAT works for me..and I DON'T always practice what I PREACH..but I do a gratitude list to sometimes counter such feelings.
There's lots of tools and help out there,but its up to the individual to use them.
and also trying not to identify with the depression,it's usually,in the past,when I identified with it,that it hurt the most.
Today I'm aware that even if I do sometimes get depressed..that I AM NOT MY DEPRESSION.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR DEPRESSION.
I THINK PART of the problem sometimes is people identify too much with their feelings of depression and believe THEY ARE their DEPRESSION...and THEY ARE NOT.
AND I think it's important to be aware of that. JMO

If only it was that easy. Personally I think that there have been some good tips and suggestions given by some posters, but I would encourage the OP to seek medical treatment to access the proper care for her particular situation. Everyone is different and their experiences can vary greatly. For some it can be a quick fix for others its a longer journey to recovery.

this is the saint's words,

emmaline: the problem is that your brain RELEASES seratonin.
neurons in the brain emit seratonin. in depression, sometimes it is being reabsorbed immediately, thus, no 'feel good' hormones are being relayed.it is wonderful that you have overcome your feelings of despair by your will, but it is not as simple for others.
depression can be a complex medium of many factors.
Antidepressants made me sick, and after two days of trying I threw them into the bin and thought that there are two options - whether I change my attitude and get rid of depression or there will be no life for me, since I can't go on like before. So, I did a good revision of my beliefs and ideas, and continue doing it. Turning down huge expectations, arrogance, vanity and ideas of how the other people and all the world should be, can be quite therapeutic. Forget about that 'should be' thing, and take things as they are. So far, so good, about 15 years I was depression free. Of course, not all people are so analytical and it is not a way to go for everyone, but when somebody asks, I tell about my experience. That said, therapy is a great option if one can pay for it. I couldn't pay for it, but if I was able, I would have gone for it. Probably in cases of clinical depression treatment is covered by medical card and the patient does not pay anything. There may be different situations in different countries, but here in Ireland one visit to a doctor costs €50-60. If you don't have medical card, you can hardly afford any therapy.

one can try to be more compassionate. if the inside is full of negativity towards others, for any reason , then the inside would be polluted and depression fills the space within
