I have read many posts over the last few years here on DS. I see where many have received Meds. that have helped them as well as counseling. There are many here who don't realize that depression can be and, often is a cycle. There are days or even weeks where we feel good, life seems to be going great. There are other times when things may be soso and, there are other times when depression comes over us like a tidal wave. For years, I had terrible times with the anniversary of my son's death. It has been 5 years this July but, I still feel depressions affect when this time of year rolls around.

For those of you who are experiencing this "cycle", do not get discouraged or feel as though you are alone in this. We all, at sometime, have been there too. This is why we have this site because most of us understand depression and its affect, not only one the one who has it but, also for those in relationships, families, etc. that are affected by it. We are here to give advice, to listen and to encourage one another. Do not feel like you are in this alone or that no-one understands. We do and we will do our best to help wherever we can.
