Hugs.

The thing I love about you is how starkly honest you are, even when you're in a dark place and feeling uncomfortable with yourself.

You're awesome. You're you. Stay it. And don't feel like you have to push yourself into being happy if you're not feeling it either. Your feelings are there for a reason and once you figure out what it is that you need to feel better, I know you'll be all over it. I have faith in you.

*hugs*

I can definitely empathize with it being far harder to deal with being depressed when you don't have something you can point to and say "that, that's what's wrong." It leaves you with a nasty amorphous feeling, and you have to fight not to stack depression and anger at being on depressed on top of being depressed, despite the fact that if it was someone else you'd tell them that that was ridiculous and they shouldn't beat themselves up

mmm, I never thought of the words fae warrior together before. I always called Belenen a dragon, or a paladin, but those never quite hit the mark. Fae warrior is exactly right, thank you.

Wow, I really could have written this myself. I wish I had some good advice for you, but as I said, I'm in the midst of the same struggles right now. I suppose what I can say is just know that it'll pass and that you have people around you that care for you muchly. It doesn't make the feelings go away, of course, but I know that -- for me at least -- the knowledge of support is a great emotional cushion for when/if you fall.

Much empathy from a fellow sufferer here. Although, I'd like to stress, there is never a truly good reason for depression. There are good reasons to feel sad and overwhelmed - but depression is a different creature althogether!
