You raise a good point Linkage.
We DO tend to think along the lines of our cuurent mood and mental state. Our "worldview" is tainted, so to speak, by our current state of mindI too have experienced Anxiety and Depression....and freedom from both....so I know what you mean.
My point was that EVERYONE deals with stress in
one of several ways. We wonder why some can endure long periods of intense stress and anxiety
without suffering clinical depression....and yet another individual can virtually collapse from ONE
of the the top ten Life stressors...We all have different levels of coping skills, different childhoods, different genetic make-ups( some more pre-disposed to mental illness) and then throw in the fact that these can all CHANGE
at vaioues times of our life...and we get an idea
why depression is sometimes a complex puzzel that
has some pieces missing!!!! lol!Thankfully there are Meds in our generation to provide help...the past, and present demonstrate that without help, many have not made it through.
My original post was to try and point out that the SAME stessor...happening to different people...effects them in varying degees.
One seems to THRIVE on stress and a hurry-ip lifestyle,,,while others prefer quiet and solitude
most of their day.
We are all unique.Thanks for clarifying your "not so" post....
