do you have a therapist? do you see a Pdoc?

We want you to feel better

I'm with you. It sucks. I've had it a long time too. I get some relief at times but it's always there. Hope PC helps. It helps me.
Thanks for this!

Hi tonia

it really does suck. And it seems like it gets worse. And it does if you think negatively about it. Its hard having depression and not thinking negatively but i find that positive thinking helps. Pretty much everything about your day can bring you down if you let it. I hope that you feel like you can come to these forums and talk about your day and your feelings. There are alot of people here who care and want to help. I hope you feel better.
Thanks for this!

Seems like we are all kinda in the same boat. I've only been here a couple days, but just writing and getting encouraging words back has helped.
Keep writing, and remember... we may be a name on a computer, but here we are friends!!
