There are a lot of people who know what you're going through, and the medical community is really starting to realize depression is not a choice, it's a medical condition.</p> So, 2 things.

First, book suggestion. If you like nonfiction, I just read a book called “Spook”, it’s by the same author as a book called “Stiff” about the science of dead bodies. “Spook” is about the science of the afterlife, and it’s really neat, it delves into the history of the search for the afterlife, and I couldn’t put it down.

I liked it even better than "The Help" and I wouldn't have thought that would be possible!!</p> I highly suggest “Saving CeeCee Honeycutt” by Beth Hoffman.

At the same time I hate them for their ignorance I'm also jealous of that ignorance. I would give almost anything to never feel the despair that grabs me by the throat and won't let go until it's good and ready. If it was offered I would even consider becoming a compassionless asshat like K to be permanently rid of my depression. And that notion makes me all the more confused.</p><br /><br /><p>I won't suggest any books despite having spent the better part of my adult life running a book store. I mostly read sci fi and fantasy and besides it looks like you've got a year's worth of reading from the comments above. :)</p><br /><br /><p>All the best Fish, you aren't in this alone.</p> People like K confuse the hell out of me.

All the best Fish, you aren’t in this alone.

Anyhoo, you must, must, must read, "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak. One of the best books I've read in a long time. And hang in there, like you said, hills and valleys, it will get better. and then get worse again, and then better, and then...well, you get it. Such is life my friend! </p> hi heather, never mind the “get over it” people…they just don’t get it, lucky them I s’pose. Anyhoo, you must, must, must read, “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak.
