Thank you for the gentle reminder.
Thank you so much for putting this post up as depression at times can feel like a very lonely desperate place, where you feel completely misunderstood and out of energy to cope with life.
But this gives us hope. I am currently on meds for mine after 7 years of trying to battle alone, so to anyone trying to battle alone I would say try the medication it need not be a long term thing, but it does really help and allow you to live a better quality life.
Love to you

Hi gregczar, You are right. There is more hope and help available for those suffering from depression. The biggie is a person actually seeking help. I have had to seek professional help for depression several times in my life. With help, I got better and was able to live my life again.
buidkiti,
This brings up a great point. I think one the HARDEST things to do as a depressed person...
...is to MAKE THE DECISION TO SEEK HELP!, OR even
...to WANT TO SEEK HELP!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND that take those two decisions OUT of YOUR HANDS and ask the person who cares about you, is close enough to you, and is capable to take on the this role.
A depressed person's brain, is the WRONG one to use for these decisions!!! Period!!!
I learned some very difficult lessons before I started giving these decisions over to other brains.
I am sure it has saved my life.
Good luck, and keep letting us know what works and what doesn't!
We're with ya'!
Thank you so much for the wonderful post Greg! I really appreciate it and it always helps to know that there is so much help available to us.
