I'm sorry your great aunt doesn't understand. I'm afraid she is from a different generation and they had to just suck it up. There was no options other than that. It is hard for anyone that is not going through it to understand what it feels like. I understand what you are going through. I want to give up, but for some reason I keep going. Meds don't seem to work, leaving me with the feeling that the depression is all that there is and that there is know way out. I agree with you; I hate depression, too. Hope you get some relief from what you doctor decides to do.
