Assumptions, assumptions, assumptions...

This isn't my normal attitude. This is frustration. Despite what people claim, this part of me doesn't "show through". Most people who have known me for years, including my own parents, were completely unaware that I even had depression. However, that's beside the point.

I have hundreds of exit strategies. Running away doesn't suit me, so having an exit means absolutely nothing.

I shouldn't be happy with that I have in life if I'm depressed. I am not the kind of person to be content with misery.

Why do I type about it? It is a problem that needs to be eradicated. I don't know any of you, so I doubt there are any repercussions from me disclosing personal emotions or experiences. If there are, so what. There's no point in being afraid of the internet.

Before the predicted "why post about it instead of fix it" argument comes up, I am fixing it. This is just one of the many resources I'm using to destroy my depression problem and finally become acceptable to women. If you understand, tell me your stories. If you think you understand, thanks, but no thanks. If you need to ask yourself if you understand, you probably don't. If you think depression is funny, you've obviously never experienced it. I'm not spiteful so I won't wish it upon you, but I don't understand the concept of mockery when someone is feeling terrible.

Is there not some drug you can take that would eliminate the ability to feel depressed?

I was just thinking that the world would be a much better place if there were some virus or bacteria or something that caused a form of encephalitis that permanently eliminates the ability to feel sad or depressed.

If only. There are drugs that help to curb irrational thoughts and prevent severe emotional lows. But if you are overall unhappy with your life, anti-depressant pills often will not magically make you happy with it. Medication to take the edge off is often accompanied by therapy to teach more effective behaviors or to help you dig at the root of the problem.
