Unconditioned Uncompromised Life thats missing Death only defies Storms regardless The pills or drugs Consuming this darkness Destroying all that was No escaping Smothering clutch No placating The Devil's touch |

Depression sucks. I have danced with that devil for decades. You have described it well. Live with it long enough and it becomes more like someone you have known for a long time and don't like and do your best to avoid. I can think of worse things to have to deal with that are more physically crippling(I have a low pain tolerance) even though it has seemed near intolerable at times. It always gets better. Never give up. ~L |

Suck in a breath and dog-paddle if you can't swim, my friend - always a way to go on. j. |

"No escaping Smothering clutch No placating The Devil's touch" "Smothering clutch" is the reality within the four lines. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Thank you everyone for your replies, 42 years I have dealt with this and though my writing about it may seem negative it actually is a catharsis and provides an escape. cheers Vic Inspired-8 |

A very touching write which I can relate to on many levels. I'm glad to hear that facing it head on and writing about it is good therapy for you. May your days be filled with more strength and light than darkness. Thank you for sharing ~ Alana  |
