I Want To Give Thanks

Today is a going to be a great day. On the Chinese radio I heard this :

"Depressed" can be seen as "Deep rest".

Don't know. What do you think? Interesting things I learn listening to the radio.

I cannot agree with that. Depression is not rest, it's an unwanted burden. A heavy dark cloud that descends on you when it pleases. It leaves eventually when it pleases but it will always return. Rest it is not.
That sounds like some kind of indoctrination coming out of your radio.

@Wraithorn haha. Indoctrination. True. How often we get by without thinking critically of the things they feed us.

I'm seriously dyslexic and even I know that doesn't work

@TopCat from your writing here, I can't tell that you're dyslexic. It's not easy to walk out from the shadows, yes. But I think where there's a will, there's a way. Hope you feel better.

@novembermoon Aww thanks, I have to really concentrate and spell check and auto-correct is a blessing! True and I'm fighting that fight, but it is definitely not restful

Nothing is impossible. Keep up the good fight!

It sounds weird. I don't think anyone who is suffering from depression considers his condition like resting.

@Cierzo understand. Maybe what she means is when life throws things at us and gets us down, we need to withdraw a bit. But we must not forget to walk out into the sun again. Depression as an illness can be very debilitating. No doubt about that.

I once searched for information about depression too when I was depressed. The website said something similar. It said depression is necessary sometimes because it s the only time you stop going forward, being alone, and take the time to think about your new direction.
