When an ‘illness’ is not an illness, but instead a wonderful gift! I think that this condition, and all other conditions are things to be managed—not cured or ignored. Whatever way you can manage yourself and your life is the way it should be managed. It’s all about quality of life.
Perhaps the reason you feel lost is not depression at all. Maybe instead you need to find your calling. That does not mean blow caution to the wind or ignore your responsibilities/etc. Instead, just DO something. Follow your gut, but be responsible at the same time.
And don’t condemn yourself to a life of despair. You happened, and so you are special. Whether you believe that you were made by a kind and merciful God, or that you were simply the strongest sperm: you are the one that was made. You will find what you are looking for someday, but in the mean time, stay strong and don’t forget the people that care about you. They are there.
Anyhoo, Happy New Year, everyone!!!!!! <3
