After I was sick last year for two weeks and in the hospital and 3 surgeries I went home. I was then very depressed for about two months after. I thik with physical illness depression is a natural response. The depression lifted on it's own. It was different than my normal depression because I just didn't feel like I was whole any more, and I was in pain and sick a lot. I've gotten used to getting sick more, (it sucks but feels more normal now,) but still looking at my scars makes me really sad.
