Nevertheless, I stand by my response.:thumbup

Guess you missed the first part of his post then.

Depression occurs when you are not mentally strong.

my best bro quit his well paying job after a year since it was so depressing to go to work


he would stay in a little cubicle crunching numbers all day with people he didn't like

No, I didn't miss it but I viewed his comment in context of what he said. Depression, just like a physical illness, will result in a weakening of the mental condition. The rapidity in which illness, mental or physical, is able to afflict a person is most of the time related to their strength at the time of onset. I'm fairly certain Holmes was implying that by keeping the body strong, one may ward off the insidious effects of depression just as in keeping the body strong one may ward off illness or at least prevent the illness from gaining a stronghold. We know that it is not a 100% guarantee but doing things to maintain strength physically and mentally can only help.

Jobs can contribute to depression in many ways. Shan gave one really great example.

I have had jobs I absolutely hated! I can understand how a death row inmate might feel, watching the clock tick down the hours until I had to go back to work. Weekends weren't "Wheeee! TWO DAYS OFF!" It was more like, "Dayum! Two days til I have to go back!"

Having a real prick for a boss made one of the jobs much worse than it was. The job was, cold in the winter, hot in the summer, dusty, dirty, labor intensive, which was bad enough in its own right, but having that asshat riding our behinds all day made it so much worse. Thought about taking a contract out on him a time or two.

I do not disagree with what you have stated.

I don't believe the spammer was thinking along those lines though.

I took it as him stating an absolute.

Which I disagree with. I have seen what depression can do first hand. One sister in law killed herself. Another has been in therapy and taken every drug probably made for it along with having electro shock.

There are people here that post who have been on meds that make a huge difference.

For some the meds work, for others nothing works.

Depression is not cut and dry and I took it from Holmes first part of that post that he though it was.

Nothing more or less meant on my part.

Currently looking for a change of scene, job I am in is not ideal but then they rarely are.

Only time I let depression get to me was when I didn't have a job. Tried to go semi-retired this year, but just moped around the house in my dressing gown for two days a week.
