Welcome to PC. Thank you for reaching out and for taking the risk to do so. That is a big step. I here what you are saying. I know that things are tough. But you have your family with you. That is something to be thankful for.

I know that depression can grab you and pull you under leaving you wondering if anything is even worth it. But you are worth it. Your family, your wife and 2 little ones, needs you. Finding that one thing is doing something.

You reached out here and that took alot. Thank you for trusting us enough to do that. I know that depression cripples our thoughts and we feel like we can do nothing. Truth is you just took the first step to showing it you can.

I know for me I have been really having a hard time lately, but coming here and posting to others gets me out of myself. It gives me insite into my own stuff. It is tough sometimes to find that one space to step out of for even a moment. But it is worth the try.

Did you just start therapy? Give that a chance. Sounds like you have only just begun. It does get easier as you go. Have you been on your meds long? They can help too when they have a chance to get in your system.

I know the feeling of will this get better. Hang in there and keep pushing forth. Maybe you are only crawling and inching along--but you are moving forth. Take each day one minute at a time. Sometimes one second at a time. And remember to breathe.

There is nothing wrong with crying. Crying cleanses and releases many feelings we hold pinned up inside. I know I have been crying this morning. It is sometimes the only way we can let go of what we are holding.

I hear that you are feeling horrible and I validate how you are feeling. Just keep reaching out and letting us know how you are doing. Be kind to yourself. And know we are listening and are here.

I hope you have a good day. And I hope you will do something kind for you. Reach out and play with your children. Enjoy them while you can. They grow up all too soon. Many times they can put a smile on the darkest of days.
