Thanks for writing this--it's so similar to how I feel with my depression....

I feel tired and sometimes defeated because coming back from a major episode is hard, constant work. Work only I can do...which is a little lonely.
On the upside,  I do know my depression well enough to know what things work and what things don’t. A good support system also helps.
