I've definitely had "low" periods in my life, some that possibly did qualify as depression. I understand that that's not unusual. I am not really at one of those points now, though.

A question I'd like to ask -- is it possible to be non-depressed (i.e. having none of the classical physical symptoms of depression) and yet wonder why you bother getting up in the morning, and what would be lost if you... just gave up? The only reason I take the aforementioned drugs is because there are worse things than actually dying (renal failure, heart attack, stroke, blindness, etc.) I'm actually rather neutral on the dying part. If someone told me I had an incurable disease and I was going to die in six months, I don't think I would bother to fight it.

Wow Pie... I think you just summed up what I was trying to say.
