I wanted to be dead. No. That’s not quite right. I didn’t want to be dead, I just didn’t want to be alive.

I wanted to be dead. No. That’s not quite right. I didn’t want to be dead, I just didn’t want to be alive.

All of us must do our best to live gracefully in the present moment. I now see depression as akin to being tied to a chair with restraints on my wrists. It took me a long time to realize that I only magnify my distress by struggling for freedom. My pain diminished when I gave up trying to escape completely from it. However, don’t interpret my current approach to depression as utterly fatalistic. I do whatever I can to dull depression’s pain, while premising my life on its continuing presence. The theologian and philosopher Thomas Moore puts it well with his distinction between cure and care. While cure implies the eradication of trouble, care “appreciates the mystery of human suffering and does not offer the illusion of a problem-free life.
