I always thought eventually with depression you would hit rock bottom and actually I looked forward to that day because maybe from there, there would be no where to go but up. But I found that maybe thats just not true cause every time I think I have reached it the rocks slides over and I am in another level. But I am still here fighting to climb out.

They say depression is like a roller coaster, you have you ups and downs. You may climb out of the whole for awhile but may fall back in
i hope not, but we do have our ups and downs. Good thing is, each time we go up, we go a little further..

I hear you, I have been steadily sliding downhill
for over 50 years. There is no real bottom.
Things can always get worse in my life and
continually do. I hope things get better for you.
