Just a vent...it's too much sometimes. Today feels like one of those days. There was so much that I wanted to do with this life, but depression has taken it out of me. A little over a year ago, I was adjusting well, making good progress, not on any medication...I even told people that met me for the first time that "you would not have liked my company at all if you knew me when I was depressed"...and now, I'm in the thick of it again.

Medication is mildly effective. Sleep is leveling out...Seems like all I'm doing is existing rather than living. I do hope that the old adage of "all things pass" is true for this depression...

Thanks for letting me vent...

Today I have been full of longing for the person I used to be, I was talking to my psych nurse and she asked what I am like when I'm not depressed. I realised how much I miss that person and how long it is since I was that person. I hope you get some relief from depression soon and I hope that for everyone else here too.

Hi regretful. That's very interesting. When you were getting better a year ago, do you know how you got better? Can you figure out what went wrong in the mean time?

Sorry for you regretful. I know you have been struggling for a long time. Any chance of getting back in your field?
