I don't mean to add to this in a negative way. I can relate as well to both of you. Depression is so hard and it steals so much energy and goodness from life.

There is hope and I know it but it is so hard to see through muddled glasses. I am just barely coping right now. I made another call to my pdoc's office to better explain my depression problem. I won't hear from them since it is Friday but they need to know anyway.

Again, I say asking for help is in no way a weakness. Depression is a disease and it is treatable. Please ask for help if you need to. No shame there.

If it's any help, I'll pray for you both. BTW...Welcome lilacwine3124 to PsychCentral !
