Depression, a very dark word is it not? It has an evil air to it. Actually, this word has a character and mind of its own. Let us be honest about it, we all feel down sometimes. Many mornings did I wake up and feel like doing absolutely nothing at all.
Can we do anything about it? Well, I think it will be an understatement if I were to say "hell yeah, we sure can dude" because it is not always that easy. People can always tell you these clichés like "think out of the box", "don't be such a baby" etc. You know what, if you were in my shoes, hell you would be drenched in tears by now. To borrow a word from the Irish vernacular , you are a bogger and "sunny", you are certainly not in Dublin!!
The real difference can only come from within you. The Aborigines people believe in a walkabout. A phase of revelations, in which one leaves his old self and meets his new self.There are points in your life when you feel there is something wrong, something is just unsettling and not right. When you live another person's life, picking his fights, doing his work, you walk away from yourself. You have to stop, think about yourself and rectify this by connecting to yourself again.
Always remember this, there are always people who are worse off. Poor and rich alike, people around the globe are held captive by some form of restraint be it monetary, cultural, familial, and a myriad of other problems that plague humanity. Looking at other's problems and tragedies and respecting the dignity with which those meek people faced their fate will humble your problems. The fog will clear, and only then will you see that there is a light still at the the end of the tunnel.

My dear the featherless, there are two ways to contemplate through the problems of others, we might be considering the world as one entity and that will put you away dwelling in the last page of the agony sacred book, or we might be playing the game of subjective comparison between oneself and others and win every round, but a couple that we save to counter any attack of accusations of vanity. My personal theory is that every living creature is strained as much as any other, not necessarily in the same methods, but when accumulated it is the same for an experienced existence. Bottom line dear friend, we all feel the same, but we are different in the way we show it, still, its just a feeling. :D Au revoir
I concur, I still do not see the point you are going after though. Yes, we all have our strains, different as they are, they are real and crushing to most of us. That is precisely what I have been saying. Thank you for your comment

Personally, I think the person usually tells him self to "think outside of the box" or "don't be a baby", because most of the times when your depression is over, you start thinking about it and how much time you wasted being depressed and for no special results, just a waste of time.
Regarding thinking about other people tragedies, I think this helps you all the time with the fact that you have a better chance to achieve and progress than they do, using that to help you overcome your depression, doesn't sound good for me!
My point is: depression is but a state that one chooses to be in, there is no outside power which makes you depressed. all events are shocking! but the way we deal with them in front of people is what we call feelings, what happens inside one's self is not explainable to others. so X is deppressed or happy or sad just because he is acting like it. And believe me, other than death, everything else can be solved!
Dear Featherless, yes i do get your grip. It doesn't matter what social state your in, how much money you've got in your bank account and what car you drive, in other words all the material things around us make no sense when it comes to depression. Depression is by itself a great feeling of despondency that could sometimes be incurable. Needless to say, curing depression may be, in some cases, quite easy therefore let's not disregard the traces of light we see at the end of the tunnel. Id like to point out that the mind is created in a magnificent way, unfortunately we tend to forget that. Its really sad to say that people used to have better connection with their minds and thoughts, they had more control over the way they feel. While on the other hand, getting to live at a time that wants everything fast with so many distraction's and temptation's gets our mind deviated from the main purpose it was brought out for, which is what i believe to be inhuman. At the end depression could be the new epic disease of the century where it will be a mutual friend of the new technology still to come.
P.S Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a great movie for your state friend!!
