When I was released from my 7 days in the hospital, my wife wouldn't let me even drive the car. I know I was safe, but felt that nobody wanted to let me carry on a normal life. Now that I'm 5 months post-hospital, and about 3 weeks without medication, I'm being told that "you're doing that depression stuff again", but I don't believe that I am. I'm determined to make it better, like it was prior to this depression being allowed into my life as an unwelcome guest. I hope that you can too.
