(CLINICAL) Major – Manic Depression! More Than Sadness & A Starting Point to Recovery!
"In this world you will have trouble but take heart for I have overcome the world." - Jesus Christ
Major Depression and Manic Depression (aka Bipolar) are both forms of Clinical (aka diagnosed) Depression. A lot of the people that deal with these chemical imbalances in the brain also suffer from anxiety and other mentally related disturbances.
Have you ever just felt, “Not Right”?
“Like a dark gray cloud is hovering over your head everywhere you go”?
“Like you just want to run out of your skin and away from your dramatic mind”?
This proves that Clinical Major and Manic Depression is NOT just sadness. The previous few statements have been told over and over again to mental health professionals by many individual people that suffer from “The CLINICAL blues” … The good news is if you are one of these people, There is HELP!
It is first best to understand that Depression is more than just “sadness” … it’s a complete “emptiness” accompanied by extreme irrational fear (called anxiety; sometimes paranoia) as well as “straight up CONFUSION”. It is not uncommon for somebody under “the spell” of depression to have a hard time focusing or even making the simplest of decisions.
How do I know all of this?
I have been there. I have been there over and over again, my friend. I had a nervous breakdown right before I turned 18 years old and a couple years after I was diagnosed with Bipolar and Generalized Anxiety Disorders. Here I am. I’m alive, and I am happy! There is Hope! I wish to lend a helping hand to those that are also suffering from this sort of isolation and loneliness.

Hey Curt:
)
Thank you for your post. I think a lot more people have “been there” than they care to admit. It is all about awareness. I have to take inventory regularly to make sure I am not slipping back into the dark. Oftentimes depression has a genetic component coming from your moms dna (thanks, Mom!)and unfortunately I have begun to see this in my own daughters. I took my 15 year old to a therapist yesterday. I think these days you cannot take this lightly. Of greatest help for me has been reaching out to people and having folks in my life who know me and I trust that I can say, “hey, I’m there again”. It is still the most difficult call or email to make but I know it is worth it. We have to stay connected and be there to lift each other up. This world is harsh!! Thanks for sharing Curt!! (u rock
Yes, it runs in my family as well. Praise God, I haven’t had any majorly bad spells in several years however I have dealt with dual diagnosis on top of the bipolar. That’s been my struggle recently. I’m a friend of Bill W. If you research that name, you’ll know what I’m talking about
and no, Jesus Rocks, God bless, thanks for your comment, Steph!
oh…Jesus SOOO rocks!
Hi Ryan,
First I’d like to THANK YOU for being a dedicated commenter on my blog.
Second of all, I appreciate the wisdom shown and given in this particular comment. When I read this, I thought to myself, "Wow" – These are some very insightful words, my friend. I appreciate the enlightenment. Keep continuing to reach out to others. That is how we heal.
BTW: If you’re not a blogger, you definitely need to be one. (haha) I believe I’ve checked out your blog however. I’ll look into it again when I can spare the free time.
As Always, God Bless Your Success,
Curt B.
I’ve been there too Curt. I was never diagnosed but I was in a dark place for months at a time. The first step is admitting that you are depressed, the next is to seek help. Professional help was the prod for me but a deeper realization of my spiritual self cured me.
I also suggest meditation. You come to see that your feelings, however deep and dark they may seem, come to pass. However real your feelings seem they are merely and object of your awareness that degrade in time and space. The calm mind which grows out of a meditative space is the only way that I know of to observe these things.
