> I am not so sure about Will-ing my way out of depression but, I am sure that there are things I can do and shouldn't do that help. I am also sure that at times it does not make a difference what my mind knows, my body simply doesn't comply. For me simply saying I am going to have fun today doesn't make it happen. But for me, depression has nothing to do with circumstances anyway. I can be the worst off when life should be the best.
Kellie,You have put how I feel into words. I know what I SHOULD do and I know this or that is wrong for me to do or not to do but I too can't get my body to comply.
I cant get my SELF to comply with all of the things I know to be rational. It's like I can't shut it off, or turn it on at my will.
My circumstances at the present also don't warrant depression. I don't understand why my brain does this. I have a great house, a great spouse but when depression hits, I just want to die and go to heaven. Why???
Thank God my new AD is starting to kick in. I have come to realize that ADs are the only thing that will keep my brain from shifting into depression.
