I don't know you.
I also don't know who you are. But I am very depressed.

And I want you to deal with this topic as a place to dispose of your depression diaries. I didn't put this in the "life and personal matters" section because it doesn't concern me alone.

Write. Let it out, writing is good.

I have multiple sclerosis. I can't live a normal life or the life I have spent the past 23 years preparing for.
It's over for me. I live in one of the hottest places in the world, so I literally don't move outside except for some days in the month.

I had big dreams in my youth, dreams about traveling the world and conquering the field I studied. But the diagnosis came and destroyed those dreams.
Don't tell me M.S is manageable, the sickness is different from one person to the other. In my case, I can't walk normal, I'm always fatigued, slightest concentration makes my eyes deviate, I'm shattered. Shattered.

I don't need the sympathy of nobody, it's my burden to carry. This dignity is everything I have: you never beg people for sympathy . Never.

I'm depressed because MS destroys the coatings surrounding nerves responsible for the mood, so the signals don't get transferred probably.

I see people avoiding me when I'm walking, with their low voices telling me "Allah may cure you". It's better if they shut up, at least I might feel normal. They can pray for me from the inside, they can pray for me in front of their friends. But saying that with a low voice everytime I walk makes me feel like some kind of a freak.

Now you write if you are depressed.
I will not tell you you'll be better because I don't know, but I will tell you that you have my sympathy.

Continue to be brave.

I'm sorry Atlas.

I hope better treatments for your condition are discovered.

My depression comes and goes. But when I’m depressed there’s not much to say about it. Nothing is wrong, I just feel like shit anyway.

I don't think I generally have anything that would meet the clinical definition of depression anymore. Sometimes I feel pretty profoundly sad for short periods.

Depression sucks. MS sucks. I'd never tell you it's manageable. I've seen first-hand what it can do. Fuck MS. That is all.

First, sorry to hear that Atlas.

For me, I tend to get depressed when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Perhaps it's over something at work, or just a situation I'm putting off dealing with. I then tend to retreat into myself, don't talk much, and find myself depressed. It becomes hard to focus, and all I want to do is sleep.

Sorry to read about that Atlas. I have depression but will not post about it here.

Only have ever had situational/extrinsic source depression that resolved on it's own within 3 to 6 months. That ain't shit compared to others so I'll shut up.

Oops, forgot tongue.
