Depression Understood Forums

You're trying to be happy? The purpose of Life is to be happy?

Maybe the purpose of life is to struggle;
to deal with tragedy
to deal with Hell

So there is no longer a need to feel short changed simply because you're not feeling happy.

So I'd been depressed for 6 years when I finally started to get back on track. During, and after, the depression i get the feeling my heart is surrounded by a brick wall that blocks any emotions. I always act like I'm happy, which I am not really, but I am also not sad. Its like I am in a faux-stat...

Hello, this is my first time using a support forum so I'll try my best to keep this post short, sorry in advance if it gets long. I'm 16 years old, I live with my mom, my dad died when I was 11.

Now I'm able to start therapy: what "school of thought" should I choose? I understand very little about them. These are the issues I wanna talk about: > disconnect between body and mind > psychosomatic disturbs (funny how these two exist together) > consequences of childhood's emotional a...

This is normal. Life is a struggle by design otherwise it wouldn't be beautiful. 1. Re-engage with your hobbies that you shelved when you met this girl. 2. Understand that species survival instincts are typically unfathomable in that they can't be broken ;-) 3. Make yourself strong: walk then gym/ex...
