I'm sorry you're feeling so down and frustrated. My depression always comes with CRS(can't remember s_ _ _ _ ). It's not your fault. If they don't understand, we do.

pfly, i''m sorry you are feeling so bad. depression is a bummer, bummer, bummer. when i'm that depressed as you i have a tremendous difficulty in concentrating so it's probably why you don't remember things. be gentle on yourself. you can't help the concentration issue when you're feeling so down. i hope you are feeling better real soon. keep us posted on how you are feeling.

Somewhere, somehow, for a snippet of time you will feel better. The holidays are always difficult. It seems to always bring focus back to the past and that is the last place we want to go. I wish I had my magic wand but then again it doesn't seem to work too well on depression. I keep trying over and over and getting nowhere.
I will walk with you perhaps we can (can't remember what I was going to say)...ummmmmm find the right path.

CRS is one of the frustrations of depression...along with 14,300 other things.
I have become a list maker lest I forget my own name.
May have to get it tattooed on my forearm for easy referral...

I hope you feel better soon,

You have my sympathy and empathy. I had spinal cord decompression 2 months ago. I was fine the first week and hit over the head with severe depression the second week and I'm still there. My memory is awful. I teach piano and one day I not only double booked my lessons but forgot to show up at all. ARGGGGGGHHHH! My doc insists things will get better with the meds but I was still considering ECT. He explained the memory loss that comes with that so I had to pass. I can't afford to lose what's left. Hang in there and keep posting. It helps to know you're not alone.

yes... I know CRS very well, and that prepared me for the dreaded chemo-brain, lol, which is where I am not sure, at times, if I'm even speaking english at all...lol.

we get better sooner or later, so please, Dear Person, don't be hard on yourself. that's the last thing we need when depression is going on.

take good care of yourself, and I hope you have some self-soothing techniques and much needed creature comforts and all that good jazz to get through some of those more difficult days...

Peace and support,
night
