Yeah, I'm just trying to hold on until some relief presents itself. Surrounding myself with friends and staying busy seems to help. Tough times…..never understood depression until now.

- Finished school.
- Got a nice unlimited 30 hours job. Still need something for the morning hours.
- Moved from the parents to a living community.

Depression sucks, and people who've never suffered from it really don't get it.

Yeah, friends and busy is a good plan. Good luck with it all, mate. The clouds WILL clear away sometime.

All the best to you - and don't be afraid to look for professional help, if needed.

^^This. People get resistant about going to a professional for mental/emotional stuff and that's bad. If you'd go to a doctor because your knee hurts, why would you refuse to do so when something really important, like your mind, is involved?

You might know that I work in a large Hospital for psychosomatic disorders. You wouldn't believe how many inpatients we have and how "normal" they are. It's just nothing to be ashamed of and shouldnt be treated as an issue that solves itself.

You're right, but I can understand why people find it difficult. I suspect many perceive a bad knee as an unfortunate injury, while a mental condition is seen as a weakness. I think this can make it much trickier to admit to yourself, let alone others.
In addition to which, it's easy to be confident that bad knees can be easily, mechanically fixed. Fixes for stuff in the mind - especially while you're stuck in the middle of it - can be a lot harder to believe in.

the last guitar I'll ever need (for now) Ibanez Artist series AM-202 semi hollow MIJ circa 1988. My first ever electric was an Ibanez, now I have an amazing vintage piece for all my jazz/blues/rock stuff to compliment my Stratocaster

my birthday present to myself this year was doing yoga every day.
A lot has changed from 26 to 27. I feel like an actual responsible adult. Now that a bunch of life events have hit me, I feel a new perspective on life. Living every day is where it's at, especially when you're in a pair of Iron Hearts!
Also. Thanks for sharing everyone. It's nice to read stories from everyone here. And I'm glad that everyone is making it through one fade at a time
