Hi Margie2553 I am sorry to hear you are feeling so down. You could try accessing one of the sites on here that helps with depression:

Dear friend, I wish I could say something that could help. Are you on any meds for depression or seeing a dr for this? I am not on oxygen yet but it is a constant worry for me. People who have been on it for a long time seem to adjust & do well. Take care, Gayle

been on meds since April as soon as I deal with things something else crops up and pulls me back I try so hard mainly because of my wonderful hubby and kids sometimes the mental anguish is worse than the physical thanks for caring

Those of us that have family for support are very lucky. I agree that the mental anguish is terrible. You have managed to push through this before so hopefully you will again. Take a deep breath & try to calm your mind down.

Yes you often get spells where everything happens at once doesn't it? In fact I worry when life is plain sailing coz I know it won't last.

You are not back to square one though as you have gained more knowledge of your depression and how to deal with it. Every experience is a learning curve after all.

You are allowed to feel down and depressed sometimes you know. I get like this then a few days or a week later I am back up and back to the fight. Life can still be hard sometimes though. Take care.
