Are your thoughts plagued with negativity, unhappiness, hopelessness or confusion?

Is your life slipping away due to the emptiness you feel and/or sadness that comes from depressed thoughts?

I have been personally coping with depression in different forms and have witnessed the debilitating effects that depression has had in my own life.  I have also experienced the effects of depression, as someone "on the outside", watching family members deal with the confusing and life stopping results of depression.  It's a wacky roller coaster ride of emotions, and the more that these depressed thoughts aren't dealt with the more damage they do to you and the people around you. 

I've had the feeling of getting deeper and deeper in my depressed mood and feeling that there was no reason to life and, for whatever reason, I just seemed to keep messing things up in my life - I just couldn't get it together - it would be better to just not be living anymore.  I had never got to the point of planning a suicide, but I can totally relate to people who have gotten so lost in their soul that death doesn't really seem all that bad.  I can see how it would seem like an abstract, self-help way to get rid of depression forever. 

And that's exactly what I want to help people with - getting rid of depression forever and living a life full of aspirations, hope, happiness, and an undautable joy that can only be fostered it the spirit.
