Is depression curable?
I believe not, but it is treatable.
Just like other things such as diabetes...it is not curable but treatable.
Sure if you have diabetes, you can choose not to fight and just lay in bed and let it takeover.....
or you can choose to fight (which I have seen first hand is not an easy fight)
But you have to keep going, even though it may take awhile to get the meds right along with other things.
It is daily upkeep, but it can be done.
The same with depression....it is a daily fight (not an easy one) but can be done.
Like I have said....I have been on both sides of the fence and I would not begrudge anyone of sucide.....I know the pain, but then I also know and have seen people fight their way out of it and in the end the fight is well worth it, even with the occasional relaspe.
I know after years of "treatment"and no response, we all feel like...."why bother", "it will never end", there is no light at the end of the tunnel".
We have all been or are on the "meds merry-go-round"
I just want to let you know....you can fight "it", you can learn to live with "it".
I can, you can, we all can.....
just think about it and fight.....it will be worth it in the end, you are wasting too much precious time "being depressed"
