I just want to say that even though depression has returned I will not quit! I will continue to fight this thing with everything I have and will not let this illness rob me of hope, peace and joy in my life. I will not let depression get the best of me or keep me in bed all the time. I will not let depression lie to me and leave me feeling like I will never get better or that my situation is hopeless. So let's rally of you who are with me!!! Together we can beat this thing!!! :)

You go girl!!! Great attitude and great post for all those that just want to give up right now. Depression is deceitful, cruel, and more unkind then anything else I can think of. Keep fighting the depression. We will win this battle AND the fight!!

wish i had your attitude, hope and optimism. I needed to read this though to let me know that it is possible to have a good attitude in dealing with depression. Thanks

Thank you everyone for your comments. I know that it can be hard to have faith and feel hopeful when we are in the throws of depression but we are all fighting this thing TOGETHER, not alone. And together we can do this! And yes you can have the same optimism, kristims, that I have right now. We can do this in spite of our illness!
