Long term depression is nothing more than a death sentence. The constant battle is never ending. There are no solutions for some. Reality is all there is for some. DNA cannot be a battle that can be won for some. we all do the best we know how. There is no denying genetics.

How can I help you find the peace that I have acquired?
@ladybugmg You cant, no one can. That's the most difficult part, maybe I just have to wait or maybe I need to stop looking. Maybe it will never fully arrive but Im hopeful to at least obtain a modicum of peace at some point in this lifetime. Im happy to know you have found what works for you.
I realize there are no easy answers and hope you did not think I was being glib. One of my interests is current brain imaging/research that is reported on the Internet and there is and some evidence that a certain part of the brain is responsible for the occurence of depression. Let us hope they find a solution soon.
I am all for that!! I feel so weak because the depression is not manageable. I ought to be strong enough to conquer this darkness. Still trudging on even if only in place.
@johnsonk I understand this feeling of dread. T'would be nice to have this cloud magically vanish.
Could it be that some of us try too hard? Possibly I do not even know what it is I am striving for and continue to do so...Does this mean I will cease the journey? No. I have made it thus far and realize my companion is depression. Is what it is. Somethings cannot be changed or fixed, but can be tolerable even if on a low level. I do know what those depression meds did to me and as much as I do not enjoy depression the side effects made the depression much worse and did dreadful things to my mind. Thankful to not be taking them. Mayhap one day there will be one that will help others and myself.
Are you open to Meditation ? If it does't do anything else it will rest your thinking while you do it. It takes time tolp us but it can be helpful !
That's part of my plan that I never do----a walk, view 3 funny Utubes, meditate.
Hi, @johnsonk -- that is truly hard to feel like depression is never-ending and being terrified of years of the battle ahead.
Wondering how it's going the last couple of days?

@parus It is never ending and Im terrified to know that I have 40-50 more years of this ever present, exhausting daily battle.
