I really don't understand this article. I have looked at the website and have decided it isn't for me. Depression definitely isn't fun. I've missed the point. EJ

Hi All,
Nothing nice or fun about depression.
About taking steps to address the problem before it deteriorates.silly stuff.
My depression will be on going for the rest of my life. Believe me it's not funny.
What a load of (can't say it)

I didnt visit the website and dont think Depression is fun at all .But I can see what the article meant .I t can make you more resilient and its a wake up call .You do change when you have come through it .Because it makes you aware of things and you look closer at what was wrong and can be changed in your life .Well thats what I related to anyway .I think you also find out a lot about yourself ..Sue

That's all very well if you have suffered ONE episode and come through the "other side" a stronger person. Personally, I think it knocks your confidence and leaves you feeling quite the opposite and wondering if and when it will happen again. Also, I think the friends and families of people who have lost loved ones due to depression would strongly agree that "There's NOTHING funny about Depression".

Somoene like yourself Haz who has got a history of recurring Depression or Like Ej .I can understand how this could make you feel like that .I too wonder if I will make it when I am off my drugs ,But I always try to remain positive .Something I wasnt before ..Sue x

Its true, everything seems easier when you are not experiencing it now. Think of giving birth, anyone would do that again, even with the excrutiating pain, you just forget.
