I know it can- but damn :crazy: how about all the working class folks that have lots of issues= but they just keep plugging along --- how do they do it
I know you know what I mean- and I know there are real cases- I guess I didnt realize it could "sneak" up on someone- kwim?I know what you are saying we "working class folks" who have alot of issues and make it paycheck to paycheck may look at the rich like "what is there problem" They have $ and whatever they want. Depression can effect anyone, unfortunately its not based on $ or fame. I have a cousin who seemed to have EVERYTHING 4 kids, nice home and hubby next I know she is suicidal and they were giving her lithium and doing shock therapy, its very scary.
ok- I drink- dh plays golf- no pills in the house- yet we just keep on plugging along :crazy:Just like everyone else. They drink, they take anti-depressants, they play golf.
k- now I get it :blowkiss:A case of beer a night! Also - they don't suffer from clinical depression.
Thats great right there!I know you know what I mean- and I know there are real cases- I guess I didnt realize it could "sneak" up on someone- kwim?
ok- I drink- dh plays golf- no pills in the house- yet we just keep on plugging along :crazy:
and we are so happy it is kinda sickening---- God what i wouldnt do to have the over abundance of cash to go along with it
k- now I get it :blowkiss:
but does clinical depression just show up at your door? I always think of onelostgirl during thread like this, and it brings me back to the understanding- but does someone just wake up at the age of 50 or so, with the wealth and "everything" and say, damn- I am depressed?

I agree with you. She has nothing to be depressed about. I think that her depression is situational. She probably is having problems in her love life and doesn't feel stability at this point. She is also getting older. I sometimes feel depressed and I have it all, albeit on a smaller scale. A person just sometimes feels blue.ok- going on a limb here, and know I am gonna get flamed- but here is my question- how does someone as successful, beautiful, rich and famous, become depressed? dont get me wrong, I jnow " depression" has no boundries- but how is it possible at her age and wealth to be so anxious and depressed she has to check herself into a clinic :truce:
your not a pain in my a&&- you are the one that has made me understand most of these things with your honesty and explanations :blowkiss:I'm glad Heather has decided to get some help., I will keep her in my prayers.
j2mirish and SCM, thanks for acknowledging me, I know I'm a pain in everyones a&& when I get going about Mental illness and Scientology but I just can't stop myself LOL
Jeana mentioned the fact that sometimes medications can stop working and you have to get med. changes. I am on my way there- my meds are not working anymore. Last week I noticed small things, slight changes in myself.
What I wonder about is not knowing there is depression but having a physical manifestation. When I was in my early twenties my body started feeling like bad pins and needles tingling especially in my legs and up my torso. I had insurance so I went into the hospital for tests and they found nothing wrong. The dr.s said it was depression and I kept saying that I wasn't depressed. I was given some medication that I faithfully took and the tingling went away after a few weeks. I'd like to know if I'm depressed and don't realize it.

To those who don't "get" how she can be depressed, you're lucky. You obviously haven't had to deal with this disease personally. It can't be truly understood by someone who hasn't felt it.
Excuse me, let me reword: In the big scheme of things, compared to the average person, it appears that Heather would have no reason to be depressed for she is truly blessed with fame, fortune, good looks and a healthy child.You say she has nothing to be depressed about, yet that her depression is situational. In order to suffer from situational depression, you have to have something that is CAUSING that depression, i.e. a divorce, a death, etc.
For all we know, she could have suffered from clinical depression most of her life. It can be kept hidden at times, when we want it to. My coworkers would never imagine that I suffer from clinical depression because 98% of the time, I put on a damn good front.
To those who don't "get" how she can be depressed, you're lucky. You obviously haven't had to deal with this disease personally. It can't be truly understood by someone who hasn't felt it. It can be debilitating. This morning, I woke up in a good mood. Within 15 minutes, I was having random thoughts of driving my car into a tree on the way to work. My brain can be incredibly cruel. And sometimes I want to stand up and scream about how unfair it is that I have this HUGE monkey on my back who does whatever he can to keep me from enjoying the amazing life with which I've been blessed.
