Re: depression


I was so relieved to find out there was a possible underlying cause for the
terrible depression I went through.  Guys like Greg talking about it made me
realize that I wasn't weak, or strange.  I couldn't figure out why I could
be so depressed "out of the blue".

Last week I took the wife and kids to the beach.  It was beautiful, my kids
were having a great time.  I kept having this desire to swim out into the
water and end it all.  Because of the discussion of this group, I was able
to recognize that I had only been on this new antidepressant for a few days
& may need to give it some time.  I allowed myself to shed some tears (not
self pity, DEPRESSION), and say to myself "this too shall pass".

Depression does need to be talked about.
