Depression is indeed knowing that your government will never get any better and your taxes will continue to go up and there will be more and more rules inhibiting your freedom, while you pretend that you are still living in freedom you see?

If you are depressed you must call up on that feeling and rise up and take charge and indeed fight on. You must rise to the occasion and do something about whatever it is that you are allowing it to cause this depression. I say this because YOU are allowing some external and perhaps extremely irrelevant situation to affect your inner thoughts and then bombarding that and giving credence to it with your own negative biofeedback.

If you truly wish to get beyond depression then you must take a different approach. You must work on figuring out a way to go beyond this and use it to your advantage. Say to yourself this is not right, make a plan to fix the problem or move on and say; this is not going to get me down and go find something important to do and make haste.

For me; Depression is Knowing My Government will Never Get Better and that the blob of bureaucracy is stifling our nation
