Doctors frequently tell their patients that Antibiotics will not help them, they have a Virus infection and it takes 14 to 21 days for their body to defeat it. Some doctors give up and prescribe an Antibiotic anyway, just to soothe the patient. To really understand ourselves we need to sort out Depression and Anxiety a bit better. Fortunately the needed prescription is readily available. Let's try these definitions.
Anxiety is a level of concern, reasonable or unreasonable about what is going to happen.
Depression is a certainty that whatever is going to happen will be bad. It can be specific, about particular events or quite often it can be general in nature. Yes, I claim not a one time but a continual victory over Depression. In the literature about Homelessness there is a seldom heard of term, Suppression. The homeless who recover suppress their past pain and defeat and don't dwell on their present discomforts.
