Re: What's it like to have depression?
I don't see depression as an 'illness', but as I see it as a sign that life's getting a bit too much & that you're sort of shutting down. There's several things can can cause the motivation drainage. Once that happens, these experiences are some of the things you have to put up with. You have to take a battering, this world has a NASTY habit of kicking people when they're struggling.
There's two parts to depression;
-Precipitating factors; things that drained the motivation in the first place
-Patterns that keep it going
I'm sure many people have had periods of their life when motivation has started to drop and everything has become heavy as a reference point to relate to.
