for so long I have acted like nothing was ever wrong. I am a tough old bird and I can handle it. I am a depressed person. there I said it. I can't do the things I use to do due to physical limitations. I can't earn a living anymore, I can't clean my house anymore, I can hardly stand up long enough to cook a meal anymore, the list goes on and on. I even fooled a therapist when I had to go for my psych eval for my workman's comp. she put in her report she was surprised I was not depressed with all that is going on with me. Well duh! I have fooled most everyone I know. I am going on meds though and hopefully it will help somewhat. never have before but maybe this time right? anyway I am depressed due to circumstances that I can't control so we will see. thanks for letting me get this off my chest.

Oh, hon... It's a big step admitting that you're depressed... the first step in getting the proper help.
I was just the same before I totaly went to pieces. I'm still putting on a faked smile very often. You're inner-self is in need for some good feeding. I would suggest that you seek a therapist and tell that person about how you're really feeling inside. Continue to open up to us here on PC. We care about you and our ears are yours!

I hope the meds are beneficial for you. I try to hide being depressed, but I'm not so good at it myself. Take care.

Sorry Bee that things aren't going great. I found that I have depression all my life.
Just try to find something that makes you happy and focus on that. Good luck |

(((((((((be)))))))) Actually, there are a lot of research studies showing that people who win the lottery end up just as depressed, if not moreso, AFTER they win the lottery.
 I'm glad you're getting help. PM if you need to vent. Love, Candy |
