Sandness and depression

There is absolutely nothing wrong admitting that you are sad or depressed it is competly normal.   The problem the notion that being depressed or sad is a sign of weakness or selfishness.   Imagine not grieving after a loved one has died!  Most people would not even think about doing that.   But that is what people are told to do with sadness and depression.   I do not know anyone who wants to be sad or depression.      Most people have competing demands in life which can be good but also can cause agitation.   So I would think agitation should be eliminated or limited as much as possible.   I think faith in God and a belief in a higher power is a must because it can give you enteral peace which is an absolute must in life.   But faith and a belief in a higer power is not enough for some people which I do not want to admit.   Sometimes in life there are things that happen  that God prepares us and sometimes he does not.   The reason I am writing this is to help everyone understand that there is nothing wrong with admitting you are going through depression or sadness depression is more of a state of mind.   Sadness usually goes away so I think they are two different things.   Some people mask depression through a relationship with another person I think having relationships is a must but never get into relationships to avoid how you are feeling.   I think if people are really your friends you should be able to talk to them.   I think the reason for the rise in suicide people do not have that person to talk or they feel alone.   I have heard from people I respect that the reason younger people are more depressed they are not dating and they are not marrying.   I am not going to dismiss that because there is problay some truth to that.   I think one of the reasons for depression is poltical correctness and people worrying about offending everyone I do think social media is a factor in this because people worry and obsess over how many likes something they post gets and judge their self-esteem on it.    Another problem with social media is it gives people the illusion that you have 100s and thousands of friends.   I am not trying to sound like some old person or a fuddy-duddy and suggesting that social media his ruined everything but since I believe only honesty works in the long run that is why I am adding it as a factor.   The main thing about depression there is nothing wrong with admitting you are depressed and need help all it means is that you are human.   The thing I have realized not just one thing explains everything religion does not explain everything psychotherapy does not explain everything but I think a combination of all these things is a way to a satisfying life!   Think of psychotherapy has a tune up or checking a car.   Go easy on yourself do not add more problems they will come soon enough.
