Quality post. But I just wanna clarify a few things.
For a lot of people, depression isn't a "come and go" thing. I myself am one of them. I have what is called "hereditary" or "chronic" depression. Its genetic and will never go away.
I'm 41 now. Even at the highest point of my life did I feel pathetic and I spent many years suicidal with no real explanation or cause as to why. The legitimate reason is that my body doesn't produce enough serotonin.
But even with depression that doesn't go away, there are many things that help. What you said is 100% true in my experiences with depression. It never goes away, but it can definitely be diminished.

Thank you for sharing, I want you to know there are people that appreciate it.

Of course. I'm always open to a PM if someone wants to talk about anything. I feel that's one of the first steps in feeling better about ones self.

I just see some negative crap here & sometimes I am one of those asshats, so that was why I took the time to say something. It is hard to share things like that for some people & it is even worse when you feel all alone. So thank you again!

It's most definitely not an on and off thing, but a lot of the time depression is worsened by if not entirely rooted in unhealthy behaviors.
-
I guess I just misunderstood what you said about adversity. You stated that depression comes from adversity and I was just simply saying that's not true for a lot of people and that even when they should be happiest they still feel pathetic.

Yeah, but that's why you have to change your mental state through active reflection. The way you interpret things plays the greatest role in how you feel.
