  1. For me, my depression was best summed up as feeling like I am wrapped up in clingfilm (shrink wrap). I can see the world, but I can't interact with it properly. But, after a year of analysis, i have pretty much beaten my depression. I have come to realise that depression is not an illness, and it isn't caused by low brain chemicals. Our neurotransmitters will become depleted by depression, that is a symptom, not the cause. Depression is a defence mechanism we learn when we are young, to shut out the world, when we can't cope, and if we don't have a strong sense of self, of our abilities and high self esteem, then we will sink into depression often. We must slowly learn to have a loving relationship with ourselves, and to process our wounded child in side us, to heal ourselves and climb out of the pit of depression. It can be done, i am living proof of it, and I have never taken medication. We must learn to face our demons, our fears and our pain, and to allow the depression to sink over us, so we can work through it, and come out the other side. peace.
