Depression as Intellectual Curiosity, Challenge and Exercise in Problem Solving

I have a huge thirst for knowledge and there is little that does not interest me. On good days, like today, I can see my depression as an opportunity to use many of my talents.

Understanding Depression

For example there is my intellectual curiosity that wants to understand depression,what is happening to me and how I can deal with my condition. I want to know why some people seem more prone to it and whether anyone can become clinically depressed if specific triggers exist.

Dark_Stormy_Skys_and_Beauty_Often_Coexist

A weekend that was essentially productive demonstrates the narrow divide between being OK and in a dark place. I experienced both this last weekend.

With hindsight I do recognise much earlier bouts of what I now understand as depression.

For the last few years it has made work difficult and stressful which has exacerbated the condition. My depression was finally brought to a head with my father's death. For a while my depression became much more severe and I came close to breaking down completely. Fortunately as I went through the normal grieving process associated with bereavement I started to come out of that acute phase.

Rolling_News_and_Work_DesktopAt least I used to be until I realised it was not doing my health any good. It was becoming a distraction from living and enjoying my own life. It was hurting the people I love.
