Time for you to keep standing on your feet. Being depressed is a struggle I know well. But as long as you continue to struggle/fight against it, you will learn to stare it down every day and not quit. I'm still learning myself.

I had a dog who was very much the same for me. I miss him. Animals are a miracle if I've ever seen one.
I've been clinically depressed since I was still single digits. Could very well had been environmental. I've been fighting for a long time and it seems as though it has crippled me. The depression is bad enough in itself but when it's mixed in with PTSD (and all that follows that diagnoses) it's a very specific and detailed piece of hell.
The reason I'm saying all of this is because I know you understand this pain. You may still be learning but you're still fighting. That's no small feat.
