Depression.

I have a few minutes before I go down to eat with Sharmane from the playroom, so I'll write a bit about my opinions. My views on depression, people have found controversial. Though I am not denying the fact that it may be real, I do not feel as though it should be medicated. If you really think about it, there is one thing in everyone's life that makes them very content and happy, no matter the situation. I feel that too much of a good thing, is a good thing. Medications should not be needed if you can hone in on that one thing, or possibly several things, that make you happy!

I suppose I should clarify now that at times it is hard in here, and I may have complaints, but I never feel it is so bad that I can not emotionally handle it. I have a very strong sense of myself and what I can handle, and it is a lot. I have never been depressed, but I have had my down days. More like down moments in all truthfulness. Earlier today, I was down about my PFT's and staying here longer, but after about 30 minutes, I was over it, and I'm now accepting that the most beneficial thing for me is to be here, getting the proper care I need, so I don't miss out on the rest of my summer.

Moral of the story: If you remain positive, everything will be positive. You may have your moments when you feel like you can't handle a situation, but if you look at the brighter side of things (and there is always a brighter side!), you will have a much more fulfilling life!!
