Depression is a mentally and physically taxing thing to handle. Many times, I find I am learning the same “lesson” over and over. Sometimes we try to hide the depression from others not realizing that the only person being “fooled” is ourselves. Usually this is just a phase we have to face and deal with that will work itself out with time. Sympathy or empathy are not always wanted or helpful.
If you, or someone you know is dealing with chronic depression, please seek some resources for help.
