I wish I had a good answer for you, myself, and others who are woke up with that demon called depression invading our space. Maybe I'll read for a while, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to concentrate on the words and storyline of the book. More often than not, I'll sit in my comfortable chair looking at the pages of the book, while my brain absorbs only small segments of the story. Sometimes I'll start reading a book, or watching a movie and I'd swear I've only been reading or watching the movie for half an hour at most, but I'll look at the clock, and find that I've been sitting in the same spot for several hours while my brain, navigated by depression and anxiety, has taken me through those dark tunnels, and deep holes without my consent. I took zoloft several years ago for a short time, and it helped a little, but I don't have medical insurance, or even a real job. Using over the counter meds, and logging onto various sites that address depression issues is the best I can do.

Sorry Gracez, I wish I had the words and phrases to motivate you to a positive place. I'm not a good friend to myself or anyone else. So sorry.
