Another ramble to whoever

My friend messaged me today, she's trying to come off her anti depressants and is struggling. On the surface she has everything. Pretty, intelligent, nice husband who treats her well, rich, beautiful house, physically healthy….. and it really makes you realise how these feelings can affect everyone.

But most people want to 'get better' don't they? She does. They see that as 'the answer' - being able to 'cope' .

But I don't want to get better. I just want it done. Even on my best days, I'd rather be dead because I just want peace.

Depression can literally hit anyone.

Apparently less common in sunnier parts of the world but still reasonably consistent across the population.

It can. Some people want to recover from it. I think she does. Others, like myself would rather get off the horse completely instead of multiple attempts to learn to ride.
