depression

I'm starting a new series in which I try to portray different mental disorders, or the emotions of the person affected behind them.

Today depression.

AI composition.

It's weird how and when depression can hit you, because sometimes it comes out of nowhere. Sometimes everything can be going great in your life, better than they've ever been, and out of no where wham! Like a big rig slamming into you it just hits, you don't know why, there's nothing "wrong", nothing happened, you just all of a sudden feel down.

It's hard to even talk about, because what is there to say? Someone asks what's wrong, and the only response that really comes to mind is "I don't know". What do you do when it hits, when you're not a person who goes through it regularly enough to have a fix ready? When you're someone who doesn't take medication, or have a therapist, and you're just all of a sudden just feeling like complete and utter shit despite nothing you can think of being wrong?

I have answers for a lot of life's questions, I try to share them with you every day to help those who need it, this though is one I still haven't figured out.

The gentle depression of the ancient earthwork, Grimms Ditch, leads through the land of the beech trees. Love how those on the slope gently curve upwards making for some wonderful compositions. Taken in Barnes's Grove, Buckinghamshire.

Depression

Since last night I'm feeling quite depressive because of the never ending nonsense named 'lockdown'.

Now everybody can proof that there isn't and wasn't a pandemic situation at all;

but governments don't end their course!

My power slowly goes away ...

This can be a tough time of the year for many people.

I know the devastation that depression can do to you and your loved ones.

During the Great Depression my mother’s parents did everything they could think of to keep their family fed and sheltered. Among other things Grandma became a dressmaker in their home and Grandpa made jewelry. My mother passed these earrings along to me before she died.

It's okay to breakdown sometimes not all the time we are good. Breaking down doesn't mean you are weak. It means that you've been strong for so long. Sometimes the strong needs to be carried too. And sometimes the mighty needs to be held as well.

Kalopsia and i thank you for your visits and kind words . We appreciated and they meant a lot to us. .

Depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Depression causes feelings of sadness and/or a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems and can decrease your ability to function at work and at home.

Depression affects an estimated one in 15 adults (6.7%) in any given year. And one in six people (16.6%) will experience depression at some time in their life. Depression can occur at any time, but on average, first appears during the late teens to mid-20s. Women are more likely than men to experience depression. Some studies show that one-third of women will experience a major depressive episode in their lifetime. There is a high degree of heritability (approximately 40%) when first-degree relatives (parents/children/siblings) have depression.

Last night I was at the bar. Everyone was normally drink beer. Yesterday we drank vodka, Fernet and tulamore. Tulamore no longer. Everything we drank. WHY? Lawyer, a truck driver, programmer (that's me) and random prostitute. We are all depressed! The truck driver told how to carry pipes to the city of Dachau. We increased depression and we drank and drank and drank!

I walked alone in my depression, someone followed me and surprised me.

My depressive peak that has been devastating me for several weeks seems to be coming to an end. It's a hard work on myself, and I wouldn't have the strength without my loved ones, and psychological help.

Pascal Quignard said that the only cure for depression is depression. To say it differently, I would say that the scars left by it are like the golden joints of the art of Kintsugi.
