Depression is not something we can help!It is a medical problem that can be treated! Speak to doc or med professional ASAP! We are all susceptible to it.

First, thanks for sharing such a very important question. Many of us face depression and no one is immune to facing depression but the one thing I do and I know others do, is to not allow depression to keep us down. We must keep moving, we must keep getting back up, we must keep trying, and sometimes this means we have to start over and over and over and over again and again.

I do suffer bouts of depression , where I don't want to do any thing or go outside of my home.....Especially since I'm in grieving process now.....My husband doesn't understand......That pisses me off.....I just can't snap out of it like he thinks I should....I'm already on 2 different meds for it.

Hello Panda pat, I agree. No one plans for surgeries, illnesses, anxiety, depression and others but with connection from family, friends and others we reach out for support and encouragement. Also, prayers and love for others in Jesus Christ name.
