At first,originally; you choose what you get to a large degree including the choice to allow yourself to become depressed.
I dont think many choose consiously to continue it on though, but its too late to return to normal,
because i belive the brain gets addicted to the cemicals its makes and the nuro links its forms very fast and sometimes falling into depression is naturally easier than the other options once your at that point and the links are already formed around the emotion.
Worse its a secret until it becomes natural and then its still disguised behind normal actions.
I also belive its on the increase because people are being robbed of natural joy through unnatural processess around us,many electrical, bombarding us externally so that we get caught up in it all and we learn it all fast, then we search for everything including happiness,joy,love outside of ourselves firstly, instead of it being the last step and only used for added enjoyment.
We live for the external love of others or something else of choice and when its taken away which it always is eventually ,you only have yourself left standing in what i think is a divine space,others think of it as a hole and fall right in. Im yet to experience the absolute worse of it all personally, but Im in no fairy land type dream that its never going to happen.
....well Andre I can understand your views since you have "yet to experience the absolute worse of it all personally" it seems to the people who haven't experienced it that depression is "feeling sorry for yourself"....for the most part it's passed down genetically but some people just aren't able to deal with the troubles they have had in their lives be it one BIG issue or lots of lingering little issues.
It can begin by getting stuck in a rut with your life but if you have bad coping skills you can go downhill fast and for seemingly no reason.
Sorry Lyle,my mom had a nervous breakdown when I was 8 and tried to set the pair of us on fire. She's so unhinged that when I tried to let my kid talk to her on the phone unsupervised the other day he ended up in tears
A pretty boy actor who cant sleep because starring in a major picture "disturbed him" does not exactly pull at my heart strings
I have experienced depression to a large degree built up over years and then cummilating over a few days of spiralling down and down with no way up.Quote:

But what I ment by havent experienced it fully;
I meant that I know its inevitable that I'm going to loose every single thing that I love or like or the situation I'm in that I want to remain exactly as is but wont.
All things external of me I will loose, including all the people, I havent done so as yet and I wonder how I will go, depending on if it comes to pass in my passing or theirs.
Even with my views and belifes and ways out of getting trapped by thought, I still wonder how I will go facing it physically if it comes that way around.
....I was talking about depression in general not just what Heath Ledger went through and hell saying he was depressed is a stretch as we don't know his mental state before this accidental OD we just know he had trouble sleeping. And no one on this forum is taking this death as a personal loss at least I hope they wouldn't take it personally as I doubt Heath was a good close friend or family to anyone here.Quote:

The reports all say he was "disturbed by playing a character with absolutely no empathy" and thats when his sleeping issues startedQuote:

Kurt Cobain,guy had a weird stomach ailment nobody could diagnose,not to mention living with Courtney Love
Hunter S Thompson broke my heart,but I understood his logic,he'd done all he'd wanted to,and his body was breaking down
I feel bad for his family,but most of us just pop a melatonin,drink a beer and get on with it.Lets face itif the guy was swinging a mid town Manhatten apartment,he could have gone in to Betty Ford for a month.
He could have probably had the Chevy Chase wing cordoned off just for him ;D
I still just think he popped one too many pills. Very easy to do, it's not like a-listers have a hard time getting medication.
Yeah and plus sleeping pills plus pneumonia might be a bad thing.Quote:

Sid Vicious was a sad case....he more than likely murdered his girlfriend Nancy but after he got out on bail his MOM bought heroin for him and since his lock up he had lost his tolerance and shot up and it killed him......his mom later offed herself.
The odds that Sid actually did it,are slim and nillQuote:

But I really doubt he did it
Malcolm was looking at the murder as a potential marketing angle,suddenly his property was hot again
Ahh probably the unavoidable loss of family members would be the most depressing thing I could imagine specially if one of my kids went before me.Could loose the home, income you know, it could be hard to stay with positive belifes when you get hit with a physical reality.Quote:

But generally speaking, you don't just pop 1 too many. Things like that can happen, but in that case there would be other complications, like drug-drug interactions. When they do tox studies, they do them on very large doses. So with many drugs, you can take far more than what they say is safe. (I was in drug discovery chemistry for 8+ years). But again, there could have been things to complicate matters in which case, an otherwise safe dose could have proven fatal.
Also, I battled depression for years. A mild case where I was just pissed off a lot. It can be genetic or (and in my case) triggered. My dad died 15 years ago and then stress of school, grad school, job, more grad school, hating my job and not being able to find a new one.... etc. If I wasn't on meds I'd just be pissed off all the time because of life's shitballs. With that said, all the stress and triggers CAN actually lead to low seratonin levels, at which point event-triggered depression can become a chemical imbalance.
This is the kind of shit I did for a living. I actually worked on several seratonin projects.

When you can't get your mother to give you some investments -- to throw you a fucking bone-- well, great way to start. :thumb:
That's horrible news, I liked Heath alot. One of my favorite movies is The Four Feathers; and he was great in that. R.I.P.
