Dear Chelsea,
I'm torn between feeling very sorry for you, and offering all sorts of advice on counselling and the like- and giving you a swift boot up the backside! No really, you are alive, no doubt like most of us, against the odds. You wake every morning to a new day, one 'they' said you would never have- and what do you do? Waste it by moping around, liking your wounds, that's what! Now I know that this is NOT the recommended advice, for people with depression but....Buck up, grow up, be thankful you are alive and stop behaving like someone has stolen all your toys! Sorry if this sounds rather 'hard' but come on girl, let's be having you! You are better than this, I know that you are.
All that said- yes I do know how you feel, especially if you have been 'mauled' at the hospital/doctors. I have had some quite unpleasant procedures carried out on me, not least, a kidney transplant in July 2013. Along with various other 'bits and pieces', over the years so I'm not entirely unsympathetic. However sometimes you just have to pick yourself up and get on with it- and this IS one of those times Chelsea.
If you really do feel that you need professional help then, talk to your doctor, social worker, or indeed, try us! We don't bite, well not normally anyway, and we collectively do know/understand quite a bit about vasculitis/auto-immune conditions AND there effects on people. Why not give us a try-actually you already have, haven't you?(After all I'm answering you now).
Sorry if this hasn't been the sort of reply that you expected but, I also, hope that you will take it in the way I intended it.
Please feel free to reply to me, indeed us all Chelsea.

Hello Chelseabrock. I can really sympathise with you. It is very odd, that feeling when you feel depressed but you are not really depressed but kind of out of touch with yourself, just feeling things that others feel. Is that how it is with you? I kept telling myself to snap out of it, out walk out of it, be different, but I was still the same. In the end I went to the doctor and he did the 'depression test' with me and it sounded pretty awful. But it was then that I realised that this was not 'something else' but really my depression. I was then willing to take anti-depressants and after about three weeks they began to work and I was so glad to feel more like myself, not feeling like someone else! The next time the same thing happened in the winter (I seem to suffer from SAD Syndrome) I tried medication but it didn't work quite as well, as I had a lower dose. The next time I decided to choose something other than anti-depressants from the GP, as I couldn't stand the 3 week period of waiting for them to work and the side-affects (dry mouth, nausea etc). I got something from a Health Food Shop and this worked well, with no side-affects at all and I have gone through the winter with no depression. So, long story, but I think I can see where you are? Or is that not correct?
