So here I am, 19...an artist....of sorts. I have basically hit this point. This fascinating wall...
I see it as a threashold that I can not pass under.
Unlike so many poor, sad people who go about their lives not understanding why they feel the way they do...I know.
I know the exact reason.
Major clinical depression is everywhere.
It haunts millions of us all over the planet.
I am like many people let alone artists, that are poor and can not afford the care needed to treat the condition.
And because of this I , like so many others, wage war aginst these metephorical demons every day...every minute...every second.
Most of us survive the darkness, but in an alarming rate many lose the battle.
I, untill recently was blind to the debilitating taboo that hangs over depression.
To be continued, with follow ups of my young life story.

Alright Gsh2096, I beg to differ with your reasons. Depression is more than just your outlook on life... However, I am a Christian, I believe in God, but I still have depression. Being depressed and having depression are two different situations.
Even people who work as hard as you stated in your comment get depressed. Just because you didn't, does not mean that everyone else won't.
Depression also comes from some messed up function in the brain, it does not have to come from circumstances in your own life. A good friend of mine had a decent life - bad stuff did happen, but it was a decent life. And she's been struggling with depression for a good three or four years. It's tough stuff, and nothing to shrug off other people for being lazy or fat.
Busrider, I will keep you in my prayers. I've totally been in your situation, and I've known many others. You are not alone!
