Is this some standard medical treatment you're undergoing, Crystal? Chemo, e.g., has lots of supportive nutritional programs recommended now & I wondered whether you've checked into any supplements, etc, that might help you get through this. Another 4 1/2 months sounds like forever!!
I'm so proud of you, that you're educated about depression & recognize when it's taken control & you just need to wait for you to get back on top of things again. That's such an important lesson.
I'm with you, sweet lady, seriously pulling for you. I wish there were more I could do.
