I still don't think i put enough emphasis on "constantly", i mean every waking moment without any rest.
You get a question,you cant answer it, you immediatley think of another, this can go on for hours or days.

Right yesterday rosalind put up a post about a annoying song that had gotten into her head and she couldnt get it out, you all know that feeling right ? Now i want you to, instead of having a song in your head, have every bad thought, question, and everything wrong in the world, without any good points or without being able to answer any of the questions you're are asking, multiply it by a 100 so it seems worse than it is, and then have the same thoughts go round in your head constantly(and i do mean constantly) for maybe 4 days, it is like a madness and it becomes impossible to think or do anything without seeing a negative so you dont do anything, you sit around thinking the same thing, going mad and getting increasingly desperately frustrated that the only escape is to sleep.
Now imagine before this started you felt fantastic and everything was wonderful and then for no reason at all you get a negative thought and it all spirals from there. That is manic depression.

Depression is a really strange medical condition, it is not something I could ever comprehend. My other half is a manic depressant(sp) although he is so depressed he will not go and have this professionally analyised.
I'm sorry to hear of your breakup but it can be very hard to cope for a partner of someone who is depressed, especially when you are young.

it had it troubles from time to time but i thought things were fine so this was somewhat out of the blue.

Hmm. It sounds like you're working with a very clear definition of depression.
I was going with something along the lines of depression being incapacitating and obviously more serious and long-term than being miserable, potentially without a clear cause, but didn't attach it to a post-traumatic stress disorder.
If I'm wrong in that then fair enough.

NO ! Being miserable doesnt incapacitate you, you find something that can lift you, depression seems to be triggered by post traumatic stress disorder, and i really don't want to go into detail but it can completely take your world apart.
Being miserable is caused by being upset by something in your life, depression is triggered for no reason by a chemical imbalance whether you are happy,miserable or whatever.
I don't think i explained that very well.

I'd have to agree with PB - not the only factor, but a factor.
A bit like something from fight club too, if memory serves...

It makes no sense to me at all, it not being miserable, it's not about being unhapy, it's not about angst or being a teenager, it is a psychological condition irrelevant to how good or bad your life is.
