If we could only do away with depression!

[Guest guest]

After reading the post this morning I can see that depression is one thing that

holds so many of us back from living our lifes. I wish someone would come up

with a way to chase it away.

Now that I have the pump I have been feeling so much better, but my depression

holds me back and makes it so hard for me to make decisions on anything.

I want to go visit an old friend for a few days, but I fear all the crazy

things, like something will happen to my husband while I`m gone, or one of my

daughters will have a problem and need my comfort while I`m gone. Their lives

are in such kaos. I never know when they call if they will be crying or not. So

I get depressed and just sit home around my phone.

I need to get away to take my mind off of some things, but I can`t make myself

leave home in fear of failing someone or having something go wrong. So here I

am, feeling better than I have in a long time, and afraid to go anywhere. Darn

depression. It`s such a heavy scary feeling.

I hope there is someone out there who can come up with some ideas for all of us

that let depression get us. My meds don`t seem to cut it.

Connie, do what you can to make yourself happy. Living alone is not a bad idea,

I know I would if given the choice, but I really have no reson to eave my hubby

of `19 years. Being alone, you only have to do as you choose to do. It may be a

good thing for you.

Well I went on long enough, have to make myself get dressed and push some of

this depression aside.

Thanks for listening,
