So sorry you are going through this hautemess. I have several chronic illnesses since childhood and it was a new one cropping up around 2005 that was a contributing factor in my onset of depression... I developed arthritis that severely limited my ability to enjoy my hobbies and the things I love.

Chronic illness can lead to depression and I also believe that depression can impact the body's ability to heal itself. My chronic illnesses are all immune-system related and therefore stress related so it can be a vicious cycle.

Wishing you relief from both your illness and your depression. Any source of help you can find with one is sure to help you deal with the other, so I hope you can find some solutions.
