Living with Depression

[sophia_corvino]

Depression is something I am terrified to face again. So terrified that sometimes I think living this way is worth it. Is it worth it because I know what depression is like? That large black hole eating away at your stomach lining until it spreads to your chest and tears away your heart

Yea I know what you are saying there a bit. Dulled dazed and different. I don't take anything so I can't say for SURE but E. is probably right. I used to just get those moments where I would want to try and suck a girls tongue outta her head while sating weird urges....but alas those are few and far between. *shrug* could be because of the added stuff in life. Stress is on the downer side of the erotic spectrum and sometimes it is hard to put out of your mind the bills, the job, the worries, the changes, the life you want, the people you've left behind, not to mention gaining the realization that all those bastards were probably right in saying 'the best years of your life' (reminising and noticing the differences)......so on and so forth. BUT what do I know? Just felt like adding my two sense and trying to make it a little better for ya.

The whole sexual side of things is a weird and strange place. It is in many ways, I think, it's own animal entirely. I think everyone has their ups and downs in that department though. Sometimes (oftentimes) so many things are going on in life that it just gets put on the backburner. And that's not a bad thing - it's just how life is.

I've never had to deal with depression, so I can't really say anything... but maybe if you feel like the pills are numbing you to life you should really think about the pros and cons. Talk to you doctor maybe. Maybe a lower dosage?

Like Elaine said, you are a much different person now - even from when I first met you. You can't live in fear that you will go back to your old self - because you're not who you were... you CAN'T be your old self, if that makes any sense.
