What people think causes depression: being weak, being lazy, and choosing to think negative. What actually causes depression: a loved one dying, trauma, bullying, low self–esteem, body image issues, financial struggles, genetic factors.

All too much of the man–made is ugly, inefficient, depressing chaos. –Dieter Rams
Grief is depression in proportion to circumstance; Depression is grief out of proportion to circumstance.
The so–called psychotically depressed person who tries to kill herself doesn’t do so out of quote ‘hopelessness or any abstract conviction that life’s assets and debits do not square. And surely not because death seems suddenly appealing. The person in whom its invisible agony reaches a certain unendurable level will kill herself the same way a trapped person will eventually jump from the window of a burning high–rise. Make no mistake about people who leap from burning windows. Their terror of falling from a great height is still just as great as it would be for you or me standing speculatively at the same window just checking out the view; i.e. the fear of falling remains a constant. The variable here is the other terror, the fire’s flames: when the flames get close enough, falling to death becomes the slightly less terrible of two terrors. It does not desire the fall; it’s terror of the flames. And yet nobody down on the sidewalk, looking up and yelling ‘Don’t!’ and ‘Hang on!’, can understand the jump. Not really. You’d have to have personally been trapped and felt flames to really understand a terror way beyond falling.
Nothing is more depressing than despite the fact of having it all but still feeling empty.

We’re the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War’s a spiritual war… our Great Depression is our lives.

My recovery from manic depression has been an evolution, not a sudden miracle.
Honestly, sometimes I still think I have to deal with postpartum depression. I think people need to talk about it more because it’s almost like the fourth trimester, it’s part of the pregnancy. I remember one day, I couldn’t find Olympia’s bottle and I got so upset I started crying… because I wanted to be perfect for her.
It had been quite a difficult pregnancy — I hadn’t been very well throughout it — so by the time William arrived it was a great relief because it was all peaceful again, and I was well for a time. Then I was unwell with postnatal depression, which no one ever discusses, postnatal depression, you have to read about it afterwards, and that in itself was a bit of a difficult time. You’d wake up in the morning feeling you didn’t want to get out of bed, you felt misunderstood and just very, very low in yourself. … I received a great deal of treatment, but I knew in myself that actually what I needed was space and time to adapt to all the different roles that had come my way. I knew I could do it, but I needed people to be patient and give me the space to do it.
I thought I was going to avoid postpartum depression. When I gave birth, the doctor told me about postpartum, and I was like, ‘Well, I’m doing good right now, I don’t think that’s going to happen.’ But out of nowhere, the world was heavy on my shoulders.
One chapter in my book, I talk about postpartum depression and baby blues, and I think some women are made to feel ashamed about it, and that’s a huge problem to me. And I remember talking to a friend of mine who’s also my therapist… and he kept calling me like after I had my son and I was wondering, ‘Why does he want to keep calling me and Face Timing me?’ He’s like, ‘I just want to see you and talk to you.’ [I] come to find out later, he said, ‘I was just looking for all signs of postpartum depression.’ He was like, ‘I really feel like that chapter in your book has got to be so intimate, and you should speak to mothers in a really vulnerable way, and just let them know it’s okay to talk about it, it’s okay to ask questions, it’s okay to engage, you know, in these conversations with other mothers, because they’re always made to feel ashamed about it and there’s no reason to. Talk, talk. We have so much mental illness in this country, and if we don’t talk about it, then it’s internal. And when it becomes internal, then it becomes toxic and poisonous.
I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy, and I think I did go through postpartum depression. I was trying to stay positive when it felt like my whole world had flipped upside down. Creating a human takes a toll on women’s bodies. Sometimes we don’t give ourselves enough love or patience about that.
I had moments of postpartum depression after our first baby that I felt like it was coming through. But my husband was so incredibly supportive and always got me out of it. I think it’s very normal, though, as a young mom and a new mom to feel helpless and to feel overly emotional, you know. And I think I got lucky not to have it to an extreme case, but you can see yourself spiraling. And I think that the message is just that it’s never too little to ask for help. So no matter how small your feelings and stress — or whatever it is about being a new mom — there’s always help out there and support from family and friends. And I think nobody judges anyone.
When I was finally released from the hospital, a few days went by and I began to realize that something wasn’t exactly normal with me. I wasn’t that fierce, strong, happy Rashed that I used to be. My mind was cloudy. I was tired. I felt down and lost, and would cry all the time. It came to a point that I would retreat away from my family and avoid my friends. … When I looked in the mirror, I did not resemble myself whatsoever. I felt worthless, and would get horrible headaches and bad anxiety. When I couldn’t take it anymore, I spoke to my doctor and found out I had postpartum depression. For me, the discovery was relief to finally be able to put a name to what was happening with me — something that had been affecting every area of my life. It was time to figure out my next course of action.

The difference between depression and sadness is sadness is just from happenstance – whatever happened or didn’t happen for you, or grief, or whatever it is.
