    Thank you I really appreciate your comments.  Unfortunately, we all know too well the essence of depression.  I wish I knew nothing about it.  Dolle

    You perfectly describe depression.  Like you, I wish I did not understand anything of what you described.  It is a horrible way to feel.  And, in my life, I have so few people who understand.  I try to put on a mask and just go on.  It is very hard for me to work.  I just do not want to do anything but I need to eat and pay my rent..........blessings, Pam

    My heart aches as I read your comments.  Ours is a disease of lonliness.  When people at work are diagnosed with cancer, we collect money to help with their medical bills, we plan meals, etc BUT have a mental illness and all you get are whispers.  I feel that I have been as close to death as many cancer victims.  I am not saying that cancer victims don't deserve help but I wish it would include us some times.  And people don't understand.  My husband of 28 years thought I would be "cured" by now.  I have a suspicion that he has found someone else and each day points more towards that end. So when you talk about putting on the mask, I know EXACTLY what you mean.  I function mechanically.  Thank you for your comments and know that I really do understand how you feel and you are entitled to your feelings.  this is a horrible disease that feeds on our vitality, hope, etc  Dolle
