I've been battling with depression for as long as I can remember. My newest 'issue' is now having a diagnosis of Bipolar 2 Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Depression is an ugly beast that tries to beat us down on a daily basis, at least that's how it is for me. I'm trying my best to muddle through, but it's definitely not easy. I was just in the hospital at the end of November/beginning of December because of feeling suicidal. Anyway, after I was discharged I thought I was doing better and was learning to cope with things. Well, here it is a month or so after my discharge and I can feel the thoughts starting again. Thankfully I was able to get an emergency appointment scheduled with my pdoc for Monday afternoon and not have to wait until my next scheduled appointment later this month.
