  your right ......there are many faces of depression........
  listing each one does help.....as does listing all of your different feelings.....
  loving yourself is a feeling that ignites the passion for discovery.....and you'll find a lot of re-discovery.......
  your past is your flame............
   
  i was depressed many times.....it was hard to break the cycle......the truth is recognizing the warning signs.......then it's time to take action ........do something.

  "ADHD" "depression" "anxiety disorders"  who doesn't know someone with one of these pseudo-disorders?  (Granted I know the real stuff exists but it is highly overdiagnosed, exaggerated and treated like a disability).
  
  One thing comes to mind: for addicts having depression means not dealing with reality and their unhappiness about their lives, personalities, growing up, immorality, maturity, etc.  They can get pills for anything and keep excusing themselves for using drugs which lead to addiction as the drugs themselves are physically and psychologically addictive.  They can keep up the vicious cycle.  It is a crutch to have a 'disorder' if you are an addict (NOT YOU but in general).  So here is an industry with 'doctors' waiting to 'help you'.  Sounds like co-dependency.  I'd rather talk to a Rabbi, Buddhist minister or modern Christian than go to a shrink, not that I have these problems but would recommend it or a self-help program and support group over that stuff. Addicts have to realize they don't have a disease or disability.  They have to grow up and deal with life.

  that sounds helpful.
  
  depression is a hard thing to work through. especially since its so over-medicated.
  
  i think if people would go for better counseling rather than prozac, it'd be a lot more real progress rather than drugged numbness to a feeling.
  though good, empathetic,affordable therapists seem to be extremely hard to come by.
