Clinical Depression: An Understanding of Self

In my quest to gain a better understanding of myself (and also allow others that opportunity), I have been researching my illness. I have found that many people don't understand that there are different types of depression. Not all depression is a 'sad moment'; there are some types of depression that are chronic, a lifetime battle. Not all depression is caused by a failure or downfall in life; some days waking up is enough to cause a crying fit. The illness I suffer from is called clinical depression or major depressive disorder. I have attached a link (from wikipedia... i know, but it is a featured article; click on blog titel to read it) that gives an awesome definition. Clinical depression is no walk in the park. It is very scary, and at times very dangerous (I have tried to kill myself twice). But there is hope and things that I can do to remain sane. My only issue now is finding my peace of mind...
