Can anyone with depression relate to this?!
Question: this is an excert from a reflective journal i write. i ask ppl to respect the work and not to copy it in any form
travelling down a path of darkness, where all manner of evils seem to lie. the dark creeping in and around, suffocationg everything it touches. there's no going back, the way is blocked by an iron gate barring the entrance like a cold heartless monument to the travesty of the night. a fine mist swirls inches from the ground dancing and twirling with the faint breeze.
trees overhang the path, dead lifeless relics left as reminders of their former glory. the flames of the lights lining the path flicker in the darkness causing the shadows to mave as though they were alive. beware the shadows filled with pai and malice for should they touch you they will consume you. until you beome so full of their rage and hate that you too fade into a shadow of your own, and join them in haunting the night.

yes i can completley relate. but also i must say, your a fantastic writer....the way you communicate it was great
yes i can relate
I scream in silence and no one hears my pain. Oh, yeah, I can relate.
My experience is different. I liken it to being roasted alive over burning coals and there is a knife there I can use to end it all, or just continue to burn alive. Or that God has me impaled with a pin in his butterfly collection, and I am struggling there, unable to die. My brother says he is burning up on re-entry (from space). These are bipolar mixed moods experiences.
There are just no ways to explain the various forms of depression without using a lot of analogies, are there? I always feel like I can't communicate, that no one understands! I think that is where some of the creativity associated with mood disorders comes from - an internal pressure to communicate what you feel others cannot understand.
Try not to spend too much writing about your darkness, because in my opinion, that gets to be ruminating and you get more depressed.
Yes, this sounds all too familiar to me. This bit especially:
"the dark creeping in and around, suffocationg everything it touches. there's no going back"
It's so hard to make people in my life understand the depths of depression. Your writing, to me, speaks to that depth and the feeling of no way out. This would be great for family and friends of people suffering from depression to read.
Hello,
I too can relate to this feeling. I am suffering from the same type of inflections. However mine are filled with ghostly oppressions and evil sounds driving me to places that I don't want to go.. i don't even go out no more and spend my time on the net looking for answers with no avail.
Sometimes it seems like a never ending challenge! My answer is to find a place where you can relate with others.
I know it does have it's Scarface's, but some of the people in the same situations can help you understand and give some relief even for a minute. If you are like me a minute of relief is better than nothing.
I don't know where you live, but here in east Tenn i found a place to go where you can find people with the same inflections some worst and some better, but conversing with these types of people (including our selves) it can have a heart lifting experience. ( which is a great welcome to the alternate feelings.)
I go to the Peninsula light house ( If I spelled it right..lol) here in east Tenn and spend time there and different peep with the same issues and this can give a friend with the same issues and you can work together. This really does help.
If you just need a buddy to talk with or just confer with please feel free to email me or contact me we can share? My email and im is available.
good luck on your endeavors,
A friend,

i can relate espeically when i go to bed at night sometimes i cant even go to bed unless i call someone on the phone so i can know that i am not alone when it gets dark
There's no going back.The pain of love is depression and once you have tasted love you cant stay away. Enjoy the beauty of love as you now find it . The passion is far greater than it will be later when you don't expect love to be perfect. Today love can be so good to you.
