Depression

[Skylark]

I don't really understand depression.

I've seen it. For two years my dad barely left his room because he was so depressed. I think this is because he retired and felt that he had no place in the world and nothing to give to it anymore.
I think that's a good reason to be depressed, especially when you can't go and "fuck it all" (he couldn't leave, responsibilities, my siblings and myself).

It's hard to see that because it's really a personal thing for them to get better. He went and talked to several professionals throughout his depression. But quit that once he realized it was in vain.
He pulled out of it though but he's not really the same guy and now he's fully immersed himself in the stock market (so much so that he's decided to teach my brothers and I).


I think people just need to feel needed. Or wanted.

I am sometimes depressed at how much pain there is in the world. For instance, some posts here on this thread. My own life is laughable compared to some in the regard of depression, but still there are certain problems like my grandmother being sick, me not having any effort in school and not really caring, which really hurts my parents because they have financial troubles every day and try so hard to support my family because they didn't go to college. Simple things.

But I realize that I have it better than most people in the world, have had a great life up until now and probably have many good times awaiting me in the future. It's all just positive thought. That's all you need.
