sounds like the climate. affects everyone-almost. some times i feel so depressed. this one of those times. usually very quick to advise others. fond of giving pep talks to others. but when i get bogged down,boy oh boy ,does it hurt. since i started blogging and meeting a lot of nice people like you all,i was feeling great. the computer at home has slowed down. my brother says it got a virus from blogging. so i went out to a browsing centre. and logged in. my family's problems make me nuts. enough of that. just finished harry potter and the deathly hallows. my niece's book. more down to earth. made real interesting reading. felt better. but regret at no more to come of harry potter. i enjoyed the waiting. now back to normal life. am reading everyone's blogs. pardon me if i don't show up for a couple of weeks. for me depression comes when i have insurmountable problems or when i have got too much on my plate. life can be so terrible and tiring at times. stopped drinking ,so an easy way out is gone. meditation does give me a breather,but that is it. i am not into the higher levels as yet. memories of my many failures/defeats sometimes seem to overwhelm me. man does require victories. since 2000 i have been getting hammered on all fronts. and that is what has been getting to me. well try,try,try again. hope for the best.

Don't despair, all lives have up's and often prolonged down's. But a positive attitude honestly helps, though sometimes you need to change things too. I have never heard of anyone getting a virus from this blogging site, though plenty of spam emails carry them. Have a better week to come.

really sorry to hear you are so down.......I get very depressed too sometimes...it is really crippling isnt it......I once read that depression is anger turned in on itself which I find helpful....asking myself what I'm angry about and try and do something with that.....anyway...big hugs and take care....hope you feel much better soon.....

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling low. I too have suffered depression in the past. I know how debilitating it can be. It is, sadly, all too commonplace too. I don't know if you're aware of that (I wasn't for a long time), so if not, please do not feel alone.
I was going to suggest meditation - particularly on something positive. As Lonemum suggested, there is a theory that certain kinds of depression are anger manifesting when it cannot be expressed more healthily. Buddhism teaches the cultivation of patience as an antidote to anger (both one's own and that of others). Only you can answer this (it is a rhetorical question); but perhaps cultivating patience with yourself, and with others may be beneficial.
Look after yourself. I am thinking of you, and will pray for your good health.

Sorry to hear you have been through it!
I suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder and have to use special lights in the winter when it is dark all day, or I get too depressed to get out of bed!
You're right, meditation is good.
Hope you are feeling better soon.
