Yuki500, "We have a government that works for corporations not the people" if our government employees worked for anyone besides there paycheck it would be declared a national holiday, they don't work, period, and there in lies the problem.

Yuki500, it's an over inflated government work force that gets paid regardless and can not be held accountable for anything they do and takes an act of Congress to get one fired.

No accountability = no care for the job they do = USA government employee with frickin benefits.

So sick of people spewing B.S. they no nothing about. We pay more taxes then any other nation and all we get are more government employees, whether it's because they collect welfare or show up at an office and screw up other people's efforts all day, all with no accountability and no responsibility with others like ceteud paying more than there fair share, at this rate Haiti will look like a prosperous economy, it is not sustainable., PERIOD!

Ceteud , 1: it’s Obamacare. that’s  not true.Its  the risk Corredor that Marco Rubio took out of the health care plan which drains it. Obamacare was set up as a big pool, that everyone was supposed to pay into, and the government subsidizes. When Marco took that out, prices went up. You might want to look it up. It’s in the budget bill , in 2014,2015, . Second you can get involved in your government, by running for office. Germany, France, Japan, Denmark’s, I could go on All have single payer health plans, Norway’s has the happiest people in the world, because they have free college, healthcare, a great minimum wage. So depression is taking over this country because we have a government that works for the corporations, not the people. We the people need to get involved, start by listening to free speech on TV, and listen to progressive radio. It’s free. It’s up to you to make the difference. I’m sick of people spewing facts they don’t know. Depression comes with a bad economy , you don’t give tax give always to the top 1% and the rest of us pay the bill. Everyone right now is in a deep sleep, people are depressed, we’ll we need to wake up, go live, and stop the whining . Get Active !

The lists of symptoms everyone has contributed are spot on. My issue, in addition to all this, is that many of these symptoms linger, on and off, even 2 years after my Mom's death. I had a years break after, slowly trying to figure out living again when my MIL started needing more help, and I feel like the list is growing once again. For me, anger slid to the top of the list...anger not at the person needing care, but at others in the nursing homes Mom was in for rehab, doctor, people who flaunt things and point out how rough I have it, etc.

Considering the state of affairs -- the bad economy which the government continues to lie and say is improving, hyperinflation of healthcare access including Obamacare insurance which is draining our life savings quickly due to limited (or no) income due to caregiving, and impending doom of nuclear war...tell me if you really look at things how they really are--how can one *not* be depressed? I'm not changing the subject--it's just that everything is interconnected.
