Hi nowheretorun,

I suspect that my depression has a combination of causes - probably some medical, some event-related. I have been trying to work on everything that I can to alleviate the problems. I believe that you're correct, one needs to resolve the underlying problems to create a solution. I've been working at that. Some of the problems, like the severe chronic pain, are unresolvable and untreatable, so that's hard. That adds to the depression. I know when it was treated, the depression was better. But I have tried to resolve the other problems.

Thanks for sharing your ideas, I appreciate it.

Take care,
ErinBear
