Question: When you get to the end of the road, and you spend lots of time on your porch in a rocking chair, will you be satisfied? Will you say to yourself that you enjoyed your life? OR Will you still be struggling with depression?
It is your life. You are free to live it anyway you want. For me, I want to sit and rock on the porch and be glad that I ditched depression. I will wish that I could have helped more people than I have. You can’t help everyone. People like me, we want others to heal more than they do. You can lead people to help, but you can’t make them get the help.
As I close this chapter in my life, I want you to know that I love you. I care about you. I wish you well.

Simon says it is time for change. Simon wishes that you would make the effort to ditch depression. Simon knows that it is a challenge. But it is not impossible.

Depression is an addiction
Depression is a form of addiction. You use it to deal with life stress. Like any addiction the longer you use it the more you need to use it. In other words, you will get more depressed the longer you use this tool to cope with life. Just like any addiction you can’t just stop using it. You need to replace it.
Addictions get in your way. Depression is like a drug in the sense that it is used to avoid the pain of the world. It is a habit. When it stops meeting the need, you will be ready to quit.
BUT would you be better off to change the habit now before you hit bottom? The sooner you break the habit the sooner you will be able to meet your goals.
