Yeah. Growing older is one of the most depressing things for me. And the one thing that is impossible to make better. The one thing that will only get worse. Oh, sorry. But ... we can be positive and all that jazz.
Anyway. Yeah, i too agree with these sentiments. When i am depressed enough, even my most cherished songs in the world are just... just empty, meaningless, farcical noise.
Wow, i'm starting to get depressed just thinking about depression.
I also agree and like that a couple of you have pointed out how sadness is a different bird than depression, and the latter far worse.
Hey shouldn't this be in a different board by the way?
... So many thoughts; ideas. I must stop.
> >I see it because I'm caught up at the moment with a disorder that I recognize I'm growing older and I see others I know who I used to remember hanging out when I was 15 years younger going about their lives. But growing older is just a part of life, I just want to be joining it not seeing it go by.

> I can relate to this. I remember before depression that I was hardly even aware of growing older. It didn't bother me. I was just getting on with life. Now it bothers me a lot. As you said, its watching life go by without living it. To me I am wasting too many years in depression that I will never get back. I think people like to look back on their lives as well lived, not with regret.
