Hope is very important Marie because sometimes it is all we have.

When i get really deeply depressed I divert myself with TV. Something that means i am not thinking about me and the way I feel.

Would a walk help?
Reading?
Music?
Try to do something to re-focus yourself. This is tough, I know.

It might be good to see a doctor and check medications.
If I could, I would take your sorrow away.

I don't know if you see a therapist but I think that would really help sort things out. I've had some down times and a therapist or counselor really helped. I've never accepted that ending it all was an honest answer so good for me, right? It can be good for you too. If you need to, call your doc or go to emergency. We aren't meant to be in agony. I wish you well.

god yes i feel the same way sometimes even on meds you will still have your bad days but eventually the good days will out way the good when i first went on meds i felt so bad everyday was a struggle to keep living but i carried on because everyone kept saying that the pills will kick in soon but it seemed to take forever it was the hardest point in my life but eventually thay did kick in, its not an instant thing you dont just wake up one day and feel better they take time to build up in your system then you will slowly start having more good days than bad that day will come i promise you but you have to hold on you have to dont let this win it cannot beat you! i found speaking to someone who has been through it helps more than any doctor can im here anytime!! also have you talked to your daughters about your condition??
