Hi Mark, First, thanks for replying. So many thoughts come to mind when I read your post. Yes, I am in a much better situation than I was about a month ago. I truly felt that was the end of the road for me. I thought that life was over and I was more than ready to kill myself. But that's what depres...

Hi Mark, Sorry to here that you're starting to slip again. It's so hard to separate depression and anxiety from you, as a person.

Hi all, What do you do when you've hit rock bottom? People know you battle with depression, but they do NOTHING about it. They tell you everything will be okay. They know your dealing with this, but they just don't know how real it is. Depression consumes my life. I am a wife and mother of two and I...
