Depression

I just read some articles at the Website www.eq.org. What a wonderful website. I feel much better about myself, when I read other peoples stories, and I find out I am not alone. Being deppressed is ok, and I just found that out. Everyone in my family keeps telling me that there is something wrong with me, and I need to get my life fixed. But I don't think they understand what I am doing.

My family members are often unhappy unless they are doing something. And in general, they are all pretty unhappy. Non of them believe in meditation, or really do any forms of Exercise. Therefore, I am moving away. I have decided, that as long as I am around them, and living with them, I want to change them, and make them better people. This isn't helping me grow as an individual.

I've decided to move to NYC, and have recieved dispariging comments from all levels. This is what I want to do, yet I still seek approval from my family members. I am tired, and I am deppressed. But that is ok, and I am not going to fight it anymore, I am going to look for the strength that it gives me, and find the energy from this feeling to help move me in a positive direction towards growth.
