Depression, stress, etc are a normal part of life and I think are actually good for us and we need these things.  It's when you go beyond a "normal" reaction to these things that you have a problem.  For me mine wasn't depression but a phobia brought on by stress which led to panic attacks and I think it's important to understand that mental illness and depression isn't just "a" thing it's any number of things.


I once saw a good definition of stress as being: "When the mind over-rides the bodies natural desire to choke the living s**t out of some a**hole who desparately deserves it."
