I have had depression in the past but I have been fine for a long time. I was off medication for at least 4 years and was out of therapy for over 2 years. I recently went back to therapy because I was going to have a hysterectomy which I have now had. This was a big change for my life as I wanted children and was not able to have them. I am now severely depressed again and struggling with all sorts of issues past and present. I have recently started medication again. Does anyone have any advice or words of encouragement because I am struggling with bad harsh thoughts everyday?
