depression.

only those who have experienced it know what it is.
it's kinda like a drop-dead-born-again orgasm.
you can describe it all you want. you can depict it in as many ways as humanly possible.
but you don't know what it is until you've lived it.

it's the most awful thing in the world. an endless abyss of sadness. and there's no explanation for it. so there's no amount of understanding that can make it any less awful. you can't use reasoning to make sense of it. because it makes no sense. it's this free-floating feeling that all your senses in the world cannot comprehend. you think if only i could understand where this is coming from or why, i can fix it. understanding it will make me feel better. but it's like the number pi. there's just no ending. and no one knows where it came from.

people think i'm crazy when i try to explain. the sad thing is i can't explain it. i only sound crazy when i do. and the fact that i sound crazy, makes me crazy.

these are times that i wish i believed in god.

I have been sad before. Actually sadness lingers on my heart continually, but the depth of it is not nearly as painful as yours...because I do believe in God. If I didn't, I would certainly go crazy.

Life wasn't meant to be lived without Him and to live as such is not living at all.

I hope you feel better!

God is a crutch for the weak. Be stronger than that.

You don't need a God to live a happy fulfilling life.

"The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one"
-George Bernard Shaw

"There once was a time when all people believed in God and the church ruled. This time was called the Dark Ages."
-Richard Lederer

To believe in Him is to have faith in oneself and Him. (Heaven knows He has faith in us) He draws the road but left it to you to take the steps. For Him to take all the steps for you, you might as well ask Him to take away your free will.

When the world is dark, it is faith in oneself and of the Promise of a better life that makes it possible to move. It is without faith that one is truly feels alone and hopelessness takes over.

two cents :D
