I know everybody goes through bouts of depression (or at least I believe everybody does), but when I was reading the symptoms I realized that I suffer from a few to many of them often.

dude. I suffer from chronic depression and maybe that meant that during sophmore and junior year everyone got the impression that I was crazy, cause I did stupid shit when I was depressed. However I have it for the most part under control and because I know it, I'm not unhappy nearly as much anymore. It's all in your head, litterally it's just a lack of the shit that makes you happy. It may just be me but a positive attitude and a belief that I have the control to overcome, has let me. Then again maybe all this bull shit catagorizing is exactly that, bull shit. Perhaps some of us are just more in tune with the darker side of things, maybe everyone just gets sad sometimes. I don't know, either way what I am trying to say is don't let words in books tell you who you are, if it worries you, look at your behavior, your mood, write it down, recognize your OWN feelings about you and then worry about pills. If you feel like being sad often is a bad thing then you change it. I know you can your a strong person. I don't know if you hid it really well in highschool but I can only remember a couple of times when I thought you were really sad. Much love sweetheart, if you need someone to talk to let me know and I'll give you my # or you can email me at babyjo241@yahoo.com anytime ya like. Denitra
