Hi Dexter,
I'm sorry that you are feeling so down. Would it help if you got out and did something with people? I realize you are in pain, but it might help with the depression. Maybe join a church, or something where you can sit down? I know for me that sometimes (not always) getting out of the house is some how therapituc. Oh and that is a good idea to put that question in a thread. I'm going to do that. Perhaps others will have good input on it.
