Hi Dexter, So glad you could open up about this and recognize what you need to do! That is half the battle in my opinion. I also suffer from depression although most people I know would not say that about me, I hide it well. When I'm bad I isolate until I am in control again. I take my meds, talk with T, and close friends, volunteer, work, etc. But when that depression strikes all coping skills go out the window. One thing I always try to remember is that it does eventually pass and I am grateful for what I have. Stay strong . Glad you found your way back!
