Thank you, everyone for the replies. I have lived with depression for many years, and I have been pretty far down the hole in the past. In the last couple of years I have been able to keep myself from falling so deep. I am not on meds anymore for the depression because the doctors think it's not necessarily a chemical imbalance but more of a physical issue. Growing up I was not allowed to have feelings unless I felt what I was told to feel, so I learned to stuff those feelings which lead to being depressed. In the last few years I've been working hard by myself, as well as with doctors and friends (who have been through similar situations) to learn how to feel and what I'm feeling. I've been learning that it is okay to have emotions and to show my emotions. I know what is causing this depression, and I know that I need to work through it. It is just really hard right now. Today, was a good day, and I do feel much better, but I can feel the depression still there, so I know I'm not completely out of the hole yet. My diet is very healthy, but thank you for the reminder. I can tell you that had certain things been in my house I probably would have made the mistake of resorting to their comfort. I really do appreciate all the kind words you all have shared here for me. You are all wonderful!! I do apologize if at times I do not make sense. I am terrible at putting what's in my head down in writing and even worse at talking it out. Thank you all again.
