Major Depression invaded my life just when all the good stuff was starting to happen. Seemed like for no reason, came back from a great holiday with friends, work was continuing (contact), cancer was treated sucessfully with surgery, and I reconnected with people that cared.

I did not feel sad and all the things you listed, no concentration, no energy, the simplist tasks are overwhelming, and fairly soon I did not feel anything- It has now been 2 years to find the working combination of Rx and T.
And just over 2 weeks ago, I finally feel like myself. You will get better!

To make a long story short,the hardest part for me was stopping to take the time to really take care of myself, to listen to myself, rest, pacing myself as if I had a chronic pain conditon and accept help from the experts.
I take comfort in reading the sucess stories, and any science such as
