News: Depression In Mormonism

First of all I am a native of Florida living in Utah for the past 13 years. The people here are different. 1) The saints will be tried...and being tried, can be very depressing. I just got over a two year trial with depression...ohh I feel much better now. 2) Government emitting microwaves at a frequency causing depression....great money maker. The Mormons will get medication before they will grab a good old fashion "night cap." (Yes, one of my crazy ideas) 3) Have you seen how rich the Utah Mormons are? I mean these people out here have huge houses, beautifully landscaped yards, four-wheelers, boats, campers, they go on vacations all through the summer....honestly I don't know where they get the money....my husband rakes in almost 100 thousand a year, and we can't afford all that stuff. I think a lot of the depression comes from issues with money....it is common knowledge, and first-hand experience, do not do business with a Mormon...they look out for themselves, they seem to desire more and more. I just recently spoke with an attorney who said in his 28 years of experience he has noticed that the Mormon conservative people of Utah, do not want to give anyone money who has been injured or even killed in an accident, because...they are jealous and greedy...interesting. 4) Life is very fast and very competitive out here. 5) I have noticed that the people who do their callings and go to the temple actually have that twinkle in their eye, seem to be less concerned with wealth (although most are very wealthy anyway), and seem happy not depressed. 6) Women raising more than a few kids (4 or more) have their hands full....father's are trying to provide for these kids. Mom's are trying to teach, clean, cook, make ends meet....it's hard, it can be overwhelming, and depressing. My husband declared to me this morning that he is not "mentally stable," I said to him...do you really feel that way....or are you just telling yourself that. He said....no, I really think I am mentally unstable....meaning he gets depressed easily...he gets disturbed easily, irritated easily, discouraged easily. He has been on anti-depressants in the past...which helped, but after a few years....he felt numb...so now he just rides the roller-coaster...he has learned to cope better...and I buy him Eskimo Ice Cream Pies....when things get really bad. Utah is a wonderful place to live....but it is terribly competitive, and I am often wondering "what the heck am I doing wrong," I do not seem to be as blessed as my neighbor....I know that sounds awful....but I wonder if everyone feels that way from time to time out here, creating depression.
