And how do you deal with it? I get depressed about humaity once in a while.
My last situation was when a doctor treated me rudely with arrogance just because I had a common medical problem, but not common to me, and I needed answers. This person wasn't the first I experienced, and I've heard others including my wife complain about some rude doctors.
I felt dissapointed because I thought doctors were suppose to be mature, empathetic, as well as smart in their field. In society, they're usually considered very important and intelligent. For some reason, I thought maturity and humbleness was apart of that. I was wrong. I felt irritated for weeks worrying about how I'm suppose to trust doctors when many don't care and will not inform you, and many times leave you in the dark. I felt trapped and decieved by what I thought doctors were usually suppose to be like.
But thats just my last situation. I want to read what some of YOUR reasons for depression are? Just wondering.

sista! - Good stuff. I do disagree with two of your points though. One is assuming something serious is going on with your if you have negative and pessimistic thoughts. I think you must see both the negative and the positive in matters to learn and truly understand a problem. Just seeing the positive side is as blind as seeing just the negative side. If you, however, are only and always seeing just the negative, I think then something is wrong. Maybe thats what you meant.
Secondly, you mentioned one must accept things that happened, there is no "why". I disagree. I, for example, get over a depressing situation by understanding the "why", in order to learn more about the tough situation. WIthout understanding why something unfair happened to you, your avoiding understanding the problem, and when it happenes again, you may get irritated by it again and again. To me, once you understand it clearly, the irritation is subdued greatly.
Just my opinion.

Netta - Wow, I'm sorry that happened to you. I went through a series of tough events one after another like you, and there were times when I felt like strangling those who caused those sitruations to happen to me. I one day decided to write a story about life, humanity, and the unfairness I've experienced, but is an interesting way for the story. I'm almost done and ready to seel the first book. Writing out my irritations on paper/computer has helped me dramatically. This way, I can solve many irritations I have by figuring it all out on paper with characters I create, and in the end, knowing that otehr people who read the stories connect with it because they've experienced the same of similar life struggles.
It's fun.
