Yaya, I have and still am this person most of my life. Those that don't suffer depression haven't a clue how taxing it can be to just get through the day. I have learned to adjust ok but everyday is still a struggle. I intentionally isolate myself because I find it difficult to deal with most people, especially those that are quick to judge others because they are different. I often dream of the day I will finally get some peace and would welcome it. I won't take myself out because I could never do that to my kids but the thought does cross a depressives mind. I've recently gone off antidepressants because I was feeling worse taking them than I do without them. I feel about 10% better. I would not recommend this approach to anyone because many of us do require medication and doctors care on a regular basis. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for others. Yaya, I would like to copy this piece (with your permission) and send it to a lady I know. She struggles with depression as well.

Hi YaYa: Depression is not easy to live with, but I've had both anxiety and depression and would prefer depression any day. Whenever I'm around people I feel I have no choice but to act like everything is o.k. and acting is so tiring. When you're acting, you know inside that if someone wants to be with you it's because of the acting and they probably wouldn't want to be with you if they knew how you really felt inside. Sometimes you take a chance and tell people the truth that you suffer from depression, but they usually just tell you to smarten up and just snap out of it. That's interesting about 'misery enjoys company' because for me I only feel comfortable around people who are like me because being around people who seem too happy just makes me feel worse.
