Its in screaming neon lights of " Bipolar" Id get down and Id go see my Medical Doctor and get on a AD which looking back worked way to fast then I was Hypo/Mania for months on end.

As I have gotten older Id like to say my depressions are not as severe but no.... but when I do fall into one..... I really have to struggle to pull myself out of them.

My chronic pain really plays into the depression part of my life.. I mean who can be in awful pain 24/7 and not get depressed over it all ??

Somedays I wake up and think Oh Shyt I'm still alive
I would be so sad if you weren't with us. I want everyone with us, but wishing all much less stress and pain in the future for brighter days. I am so sorry you had to go through what you did. I believe my first depression was triggered by a distressing event, but far less so than yours when I put it into perspective.

We're strong gals and guys here, what we've been through!
