A Perspective on Depression

I don't pry after any scientific acknoledgement for this - I'm just sharing. My experience in battle within me. Today I had a very interesting conversation with my inner me. And in this conversation a certain theme appeared. Or, better to say, question. Who is your enemy? Are they only people? Maybe we could ask "what" is your enemy? Could depression be considered an enemy? As I was pondering this question, another popped up. If it is an enemy, how should I treat it? With enemies, we have several reactions, two of which are, I would say, most prevalent: run from them or fight them. And then a verse from the Bible dropped from the sky: "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who persecute you" (Matthew 5:44).
So, if depression is an enemy, I have to love it, pray for it? Does it curse us or hate us? I'm simply wondering how my life would change if I embraced my proneness to depression. If I love it, greeted it with gladness every morning, be glad to see it, and not run or turn my face from it. How would my life be different if I lived with this kind of attitude? Maybe I wouldn't feel so miserable about who I am? I guess, I should try and see what happens. I have no doubt, though, in that it will have to be a "party" of three: depression, me and God, because depression is a pretty strong enemy, and that is why we need strong alliences, not just relience on your own strength and good will.
