> Thank you. You just brightened my day.Racer,I Think you summed up depression really well and also gave great advice to katy on what to do about it. I also have nothing to be depressed about. Its just a mood or feeling that makes you feel so overwhelmed by everything around you that you just feel like running away- and suicide is just that. The thing i have to always remind myself is that it is just a mood and that it will eventually pass but its very hard to do that at the time. Counselling is very beneficial and medication is important. I think you explained it very well. I can always help other people too but cant apply the same advice to myself. People often dont recognise that i,m depressed cos i seem normal when really i,m hurting so much inside. It really is emotional pain. I think this board is great cos everyone can say how they feel and see that others feel the same way. Sorry this is so long, and thanks everyone for letting me vent.
