Whether I shall ever be better, I cannot tell. I shall not. To remain as I am is impossible. Unfortunately, this symptom of depression can keep one from seeking treatment. As the person feels that life is less and less worthwhile, he or she is less likely to seek treatment.
Depression is an illness that robs one of the meaning of life.
Heal the illness. As the depression heals, enthusiasm, well-being, and a sense of life's purpose will return. It is the feeling that nothing is worth while that makes men ill and unhappy. You didn't do anything to become depressed. Your failure to do something didn't cause your depression.
