MooPig's Report from the Middle: "Depression"

by Pat Darnell | Apr 28, 2012 | Bryan TX

Depression Symptoms: What’s Behind Europe’s Spike in Suicides | Common Dreams: Still, the data underscores the senselessness of a crisis fueled by the gambling of financiers and Wall Street ballers ... "high on irrational exuberance and a sense of corporate invincibility."

Count your blessings if you have no depression. Some say love of money, the root of all evil, invokes depression on a large scale.

The old saying goes "The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth"...Well by the time the Meek get to inheriting, there wont be much to enjoy..Between the Big Oil Companies and the likes of Monsantos, this old Planet is going in the crapper at a very rapid pace..Don't you just love the nay sayers though? (Submitted by Sassys on April 28, 2012. HERE)
Sassys, aka Sarah Goldston, blogger, goes on to say 'wise up and fly right if you are going to predict doom.'

EXCERPT  |  " ... A survey documented in the 2010 World of Work Report published by the International Institute for Labour Studies suggests that the crisis has induced an unprecedented global decline in life satisfaction. In concrete terms this has translated into greater pessimism about the quality of life, diminished confidence in the ability of governments to shape brighter and fairer futures, and greater social unrest among other things. (Chen, Michelle. April 28, 2012. HERE)... "
Depression is an old friend of mine. I lived in that tank most of my life. When I was a teen I began the old bit of self-medication. And the rest I would not like to talk about, because I intend to talk about it in my upcoming book.

You know the saying: "When your mother cries, it rains"?  That is the crux of the conditional nature of depression. One who is obeisant to murky dark moods must always check with one's depression before proceeding with any task. It is like every path leads to destruction: it's like awakening one day to realize one's whole life is a fraud.

Depression takes up a lot of time. It must be fed, so curses abound, and derision rules. Only when the veil lifts away does the half-life of a depressed person get some time for living. I don't know if depression is a result of associations in life, or if it is chemical, and then, probably, it is inherited from parents.

In my case I would say depression is genetically inherited, and I have chosen people like me, over the years, to associate with. Choosing then becomes a challenge, to even take another breath can sometimes be a challenge. How to know the origins of this sneaky, devil of a condition, remains the biggest question.

The newest information about depression, and let's add some anxiety in there, hangs around lifestyle management. That includes all the self-help, do-it-yourself, take mega doses of vitamins, advice you can digest. However, anyone who is in the realest sense depressed will tell you that stuff doesn't work.

Therefore, if managing better doesn't work, then there are several pharmaceuticals available. And a combination of the two ideas will probably be the route taken. I have seen the results of depression on all stages of human life. I saw it in my elders, in my siblings, and in my own babies. It has distinct manifestations in behavior, and in perceptions of life.

For all those in range of my words who have some knowledge of this, I cannot help you with it. Let me say if the headlines you read send you into panic attacks, well you might want to get some professional help, if your health insurance covers it.

By moving my family to central Texas, I thought it would provide us with a safe and secure domicile and calmer existence. Living in the Middle has its rewards, yes, and it is a small town atmosphere next to a University. It turns out, depression does not take a holiday, it travels along wherever one perches.

In conclusion I wish to mention a few things that have gotten me into darkest moods since living here: After we moved in to our new home two, hundred-year-old oaks, both perished leaving big holes in our attractive surroundings.

When I got here, I had three 401K's  which turned out to be useless as the paper they were written on. I came to the conclusion that the whole Wall Street carnival is eat up. Then comes Geo W Bush, who is my age, as president of our country, and that eight years depressed me into derision.

Now the Republicans have waged war on we the people and are holding our "human rights" hostage in their blinking stone walling, and ridiculous, straggling foot dragging policies. Depresses me.

Yes, to all my acquaintances over the years, I have been carrying a suitcase of issues along with me, in hopes to one day sort it all out. I apologize if you got caught in my nets.

The statistics reveal the unnerving question underlying our collective struggle to make sense of systemic tragedy: Who really pulls the trigger? (Chen, Michelle. April 28, 2012. HERE)

That's the MooPig Report from the Middle: where the women are strong, the men are good looking, and the children are all above average.
