> I think its sensitive and caring people that often get depressed because we let stuff get to us, and tend not to be able to shrug things off and let them pass like others do. I'd be rich if i had a penny for all the times people have said to me "dont be so miserable", or "get over it", but I think were all courageous for being able to speak about our problems and try to help others with theirs! :-)
> Thanks for those words. I have often wondered how many people out there are on meds. It's hard to fathom a dog being on one, but there was an article in our paper recently about it. Our pets obviously mirror our moods.

> As anxious, and sometimes depressed as I get, for the most part I don't think it has stopped me from living my life to the fullest. Your words help remind me of the importance of this life.

> I wonder if some people just feel everything more intensely than others from birth; therefore, they are more likely to experience mental illness, depression or anxiety, etc. Or maybe that is what mental illness is - simply feeling too much or too little than we should be feeling?
