Hi newgal2,

I know exactly how you feel. I'm going through my 4th or 5th episode right now and it is miserable. I too cling to my husband! He stayed home from work with me today. Even though I have a supportive family and great friends, I still feel like I'm going this alone.

He and my 2 year old son are the only ones I want to be with right now, too. So going to work scares me, because I know I'll feel alone, even with my friends there.

But we're not alone are we? You're not alone!

How long have you suffered from depression, if that is your illness? What meds are you taking?

Do you ever get scared that this time, this episode, will be your last? That you won't recover? I always think that way. I know it's not going to happen, that there is plenty of help out there. But I think it just the same.

Anyway, thank you for your post!
