Dont pay attention to diagnosis or rather diagnonsense. Everyone at some point has had ups and downs. Once you realize though that you can control how you feel by thinking positively then the depression will go away more and more each day. If you want to know how. Just ask me.

Positive thoughts are certainly helpful, but they do not always overcome hard facts ... and those hard facts can sustain depression.

I am irreversibly estranged from most of my family, and the physical problems that are now killing me cannot be fixed so I can again work in order to eat. I am not complaining, however, just accepting and trying to live with those depressing facts.
