    I do not suffer from depression. However, I do have several friends that fight it everyday. I know that depression is real, and it's not a choice. Most people aren't aware of it, but most people that have multiple open-heart bypasses will suffer from depression for a while. It is real, and my heart goes out to you and wish you the best in your fight.

    OH! Thank you..So many people think that it's SO NOT REAL! Sometimes it's incapacitating. I can't get up in the morning because I feel like there is nothing to look forward to...Thank you so much for your reply...

    It is definitely real and it can keep you down without question and make you wonder if anything is worth living for. Get the help and support you need and know that you are not alone by a long shot.

    I too struggle with depression. I am bipolar which makes life pretty difficult at times. I think if you really feel like you need help then get it! Depression is a life-long struggle but if you talk to a doctor you will be able to get meds to help even you out and great advice on how to manage your depression. I wish you the best of luck!

    Oh, I try to keep my meds to a minimum. Just Trazodone to sleep and Cymbalta for depression and back pain. I am looking at surgery for back next month but I do not take any addictive meds. Just once in a while Tramadol. Non addictive. Nothing in my life today has anything addictive.

    Been there a few times myself.But this is the way I always look at it.So your down,but not out.Life isn't full of peaches and cream and will always throw a curve ball sooner or later.But the flip side to that is as you climb back to the top,you will know what went wrong,so it will be easier for you to make the right decisions for the next round and get back to where you were before that much easier and quicker.You keep in touch with us to lets us know how your doing.I can assure you that we are all rooting for you.Good luck!!!!

    Depression is an illness, and can be debilitating. My cousin had severe bouts of depression which pretty much paralyzed her for periods of time. She was diagnosed as bipolar, but her "manic" state was far easier to deal with than her "depressed" state. She's now on medication for it, and (after a period of trial and error trying to find the right balance with the medications) has been able to live a full life as a wife & mother while being gainfully employed for years. Don't feel ashamed about needing treatment for depression...it could turn out to be a really good thing.

    I know where you're coming from. Being depressed over problems totally sucks. I have the same thing but not severe enough for hospitalization - yet. So far, medications are keeping me halfway sane. I wish you luck, darling.

    Yep, I can't handle it anymore too.
    But yes it's the best to go and let them help you.
    I have tried to solve it on my own and now I realized that I have made a huge mistake.

    I wish you all the best, stay strong!

    Many times I have found you a inspiration in the meaning you bring to this site. It is unsettling to know that in your battle I have missed the unhappiness that life brings your way. I do hope that you know you will be missed but I will look towards the future with your better well being in mind. The smile I feel in your very keystrokes, how selfish am I for it to return with each and ever time I read your words? LSS

    I suspect that it is the psychological opposite of love. Everyone is ugly, just a quantum of skin and excrement, when I am in a "black mood." I say dig deep, have faith in your better nature, and pry gems from the hands of skeletons. (Drugs do help, though, in that they make skeletons walk.)

    And I'd just like to say that depression can strike anyone, and it's not something to be ashamed of or feel bad about. Thank goodness there are people who do understand and can lend you support and encouragement as you deal with your depression. All the best to you, and hope you feel better real soon.

    I was diagnosed with clinical depression over 2 decades ago, & I do understand how overwhelming life can feel when you're trapped in the "black hole." I've manged to stay out of hospitals, tho my "shrinks" had tried to get me to go, but I was so concerned about how I'd ever pay for it that I just resisted! I've gotten by on meds, tho they don't seem to help much anymore, I wonder if I haven't built up a "resistance" to them over the years! If you have a strong support system of friends & family, you have a lot going for you, so don't give up on yourself, or on life, OK?

    You're health comes first, really hope you get the correct treatment and help. Suffering or trying to live with depression myself, the little things can so easily seem insurmountable and the big things impossible. Good days and bad days, but when it all seems like too much, yes additional help is needed. Take care, hope you come back to us stronger :)
