Sorry for being late the party. Not a lot of time to read feeds lately.

Personally, I was a little disturbed by this post. You refer repeatedly to depression, yet getting professional mental health help is only mentioned fleetingly. People who can't "don't see the point in living at all" are often too depressed to effectively heal themselves.

Perhaps it's not spiritually correct, but depression often does require medical attention.

I'd be cool if you were just saying, "if you don't like your life, it's up to you to change it," to a general audience. But if you are going to address a post like this to the seriously, lost-all-hope depressed as well, I think it's only responsible to discuss professional help as part of the solutions in a more up front way.
