I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn't one I'll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it's worth it.
Elizabeth Wurtzel
I think that what Elizabeth means in this quote is that depression is incurable. I believe that it is something you have to fix, yourself, that you are the only one who can make those changes, and cure yourself. But when you get so depressed, when you get to, or past a certain point, there is nothing you, or anyone can do. You could fight for your whole life to be happy, and may never get that happiness your looking for. It could go either way, you could over come the awful depression your in, or stay in it. But is waiting your whole life to see worth it? To wait for a happiness that may never come?...
Elizabeth Wurtzel is a writter who has also suffered depression for many years. Her depression began at the age of about 10. This quote is important to my theme because it shows how hard it is to have depression and to constantly wonder if you'll ever get better, or whether or not waiting to see is worth all that you go through. I think that this struggle is something most people who have depression go through...
