Hi ~ What is so TERRIBLE about being depressed? We aren't lepers. It isn't catchy. It isn't some terrible secret that we need to keep hidden in the closet.

Depression is an illness that affects MILLIONS of people. And it also affects every part of your life. It affects your family, your job, your friends - everything. And it's something that you cannot ignore.

You need treatment, my friend. A good therapist will help you deal with the issues that are causing this illness. By getting to the CORE of this illness, you can learn how to cope with the issues you have so that they don't have the POWER that they do now. If you take that power away, they can't cause the depression like they're doing now.

So please get a referral to a good therapist -- you won't regret it. I wish you the very best. Please keep us posted on your progress. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
