This^^^^

We treat quite a few depressed patients at our acupuncture clinic each year (I've dealt with it off & on for decades myself) & one point that I usually always make to them is that, considering the time & culture that we're living in presently, if you're not at least somewhat depressed at least some of the time then there is definitely something wrong with you for sure. That usually will elicit a smile that says, "oh, you get it? Wow."

We live in a psychotic, neurotic culture...Depression, in my not-so-humble opinion, is one of a handful of what I consider to be "normal" responses to said culture.

My love goes out to you null...

May you find peace in your heart.
