i hope you get to feeling better soon...when depression hits some times it feels like the end of the world and you couldnt care less...it is hard to put a sentance together in your head much less one foot in front of the other or a single breath, one at a time...second by second...yes those with depression miss school and work and life in general, it robs you of your energy and vitality and makes even the most charming wonderful experiences mundane and blah...welcome to pc and reaching out!!! you are not alone by far...now you have friends the world over!!!!! :hugs if that is ok and i hope you post more...

i have just started cymbalta and got off wellbutrin...still waiting for a miracle lol...or at least less pain...anyway, keep putting pne foot in front of the other and do some deep breathing and it will look up sooner than you know...take care, melanie
