Depression is a disease that can strike anyone, regardless of wealth, status, fame or education

Mid-life depression is more than just a moral weakness, a character deficiency or a lack of emotional control. Whether you are male or female your attitude may differ, but regadless, your symptoms are the same.

What's the matter with me? Why do I feel this way: suicidal, negative, and non-energic? I wish I could simply get out of bed, shake myself up and walk back to my activities like before, but I can't even think straight! I struggle to meet my most basic needs...if only I can sleep...but I toss-and-turn all night, I feel unable to relax, my head is spinning with racing negative thoughts of despair, of frustratons and...the anxiety...butterflies in my stomach...I'm physically aking all over... tension in all my body muscles... heart palpitations, panic attacks... I see my world dark and catastrophic. The nights are endless, and just as endless are the days... why bother... I don't see my future to be bright and promising...My life is meaningless, worthless..living or dying makes no difference to me...!

My message of empathy

I draw these words with profound empathy and compassion. So many people, by the millions suffer of this common but misunderstood illness. We make no story about coronary illnesses, cancer of physical disorders. Why do mid-life adults, overwhelmed by stress and concerns to the extend of sensing is mind falling apart and breaking into pieces, be treated differently?

Numerous are the triggers of mid-life depression

  • economical downfall occasioning job losses,
  • matrimonial and interpersonal relationship issues,
  • unresolved grieving due to losses,
  • inability to forgive,
  • genetical and/or physical issues.

    • I quote writer, William Styron:

    " In depression faith in deliverance, in ultimate restoration is absent.The pain is unrelenting and what makes the condition intolerable is the foreknowledge that no remedy will come, not in a day, an hour, a month or a minute. It is hopelessness ever more than pain that crushes the soul. "

    Die Seele ist ein nicht organischer, in der religiösen Vorstellung und der substantiellen Wirklichkeit existierender Teil des Menschen, der als unsterblich betrachtet wird. Sie bildet das Wesen eines Menschen, das Innenleben mit dem gesamten Bereich der Empfindungen und des Denkens. Die Seelenkunde, die neudeutsch Psychologie heisst, ist die Wissenschaft von den Erscheinungen und Zuständen des menschlichen Innenlenlebens des Homo Sapiens.
