((((((((((Tmac)))))))))) Sending you many hugs, Tmac!

It's frustrating when others don't understand depression. The fact is though, that those who don't have depression will never fully understand it. The best we can do is try to educate them on the illness. And if they're not willing to learn, then they are not worth our time.

You say you feel like you don't belong anywhere. Well, please know that I care about you, and I'm sure many others here at PC care about you as well. Please keep posting if that helps.

As for medication, it's hit and miss. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes a medication that used to work stops, and we'll need an increase in dosage or a different one altogether. It's a tough process, finding a good medication cocktail that works.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Remember that the huge dark cloud over you will have to go away sometime, and hopefully sunshine will replace it.
