> When I became suicidal at the age of 35 my lifestyle was ok. I had been happy the year before, went to the gym regularly, rarely drank alcohol, loved my job, had people in my life who loved and cared about me so I just don't get it. For the life of me I will never really understand why or how I got depressed again. Am I missing something or in denial about something?I have no idea what you may be in denial of. Probably nothing.
Am I wrong in believing that you have already accepted that you have a biological disorder - a very real disease?
What is your definition of "depression"? What do you think depression is?
Is the depression that occurs when an otherwise healthy person loses their spouse the same thing as the depression that follows mania in bipolar disorder? Which of the two can one work their way out of?
The only thing that you are depressed about is your depression.
