Thanks for the encouragement. I agree that it is a good idea to record thoughts and emotions, and I do keep a journal. i just started writing my first post last night...and I couldn't stop. I struggled to decide if I should post or delete, and ultimately chose to post.

I guess I still am depressed. I thought that things were getting better; I felt better mood-wise the past few days. But since last night, I've been about as low as I've ever been.

Thanks again. I really appreciate the hugs and prayers and kind words.
