Hi, DiNozzo! Wow. You are dealing with a lot on top of depression. For you to be able to say, "...each day is still a struggle but i am working thru it" is a testimony to your inner strength. Of course, no matter how much inner strength one has doesn't mean one isn't in significant pain.
When or if you feel comfortable doing so, I'd like to learn some of the details of your own way of dealing with depression. Thank you.
