Hello (((WICKEDWINGS))). I am sorry for your struggles at this time. Have you thought about attending Support Groups in your area for support anfd comfort? NAMI and DBSA both good national groups are good at supporting people with mental health issues. I feel that with your valuable input in being deaf you would be an asset to the groups as an advocate for handicapped people since you are a survivor i many ways (even though you may not see that in yourself) due to the limitations at this time due to your depression. Have you had a physical lately? Many timed depression is linked to medical isues and I know for certain many women have PMDD( a disorder like PMS) that is excruciatingly debilitating when you have Depression or Bipolar disorders. Seeing your therapist and Psych Dr about getting a med change may help as well if your meds have quit working to your benefit or if you are not thriving as you feel you should mentally or physically, or if the depression is overtaking your life in a negative manner. I hope things get better fro you soon (((WW)).Soidhonia
