It's complicated, i dont know what else to say about it. I think for me it's trying to stop people suffering like i did. I think i grew up doing things for other people and that made me feel good. When those people dissappeared i had no reason to do anything.

I think that thinkers put more pressure on themselves, have higher expectations, tend to be perfectionists and have a harder time accepting things how they are. I think they get caught in a mindtrap of constantly asking "Why am i doing this" and it becomes tiring. At some point i think that physical depression of not doing anything gets to the mind and the mind just shuts down.

You're asking about cause and effect. Personally i think some people are more pre-disposed to depression through genetics and if you happen to have the wrong personality that increases the risk. I do think trauma plays some part, maybe because it's stops you. If you cant pick yourself up from whatever it is i think it just gets worse from then on

I dont think they are necessarily. Some people cant bring their pain out and hide it and some cant hide it and bring it out. I think people who are depressed by life tend to be deeper, even if they dont want to be. I've certainly noticed it in the ammount of people i've spoken to that they tend to have far more depth.

I'd just go with how you feel. I've been feeling very open recently and i think it's shown on here. You dont have to follow my lead and if you want to talk in private you've always got msn or your blog.

Good Evening merry people.
It does look like the forums have been quiet today.
"I'm only interested in being a great me. You know we talked earlier about superhero dreams and wanting to save people, i think thats the only thing i'm certain of.
I'm after some justification for being here and the only way i can justify it is through saving someone who does actually deserve it.
Someone told me ages ago that i was a gaurdian and that i'm not here for myself. I just think thats sad because i wish i could live for myself and not other people.
I think i might take this subject onto my blog..."
Absolutely. Helping other people feels fantastic. It's when you've not yet sorted your own life/self out that it gets a little out of hand - maybe harder to control when you leave it too late? If only things like, "Live for yourself!" were as easy to do as it is saying/writing it.
Hmmm, I was thinking something similar to this earlier whilst on the roof. The dark sky and moon does indeed bring out the most interesting of thoughts.
Something to do with what I read somewhere, how people who are more introspective [negatively], emotional and so on, are more likely to suffer from depression? Makes some sense. What they didn't mention however was *why* they are more introspective, etc which I guess is more of an important factor. Childhood/upbringing?
I'm not sure I believe that anyway. There's some sense in it but feels.. holey.. Some people are rather fantastic at hiding things too.
Anyhoo. I'm interested to know exactly how depression comes about. I wonder if it begins with trauma and all the nasty bits or does it begin with that chemical imbalance in the brain? Is the imbalance caused by trauma or just an effect?
I think I'm going to go read up about it but I know you'll always have something interesting to say. :) It is indeed wonderful stuff.
Anyway, you might wonder how this is at all similar but hell, it links in my mind.. Just wondering whether in order to become 'better' you would need to stop caring half as much if it really is true that people with depression are more emotional/feely etc..?!
You're right about the blog mister Nin.. I seem to be finding it very hard to know what's appropriate and what's not to write on these forums at the moment..!
Anyway. How are you people?
