Angela,

Depression in itself can be very painful to live with, but when pressure outside of our skin bears down on us as well, life can hardly seem worth living at times.

I feel for the difficulty you are having. I hope that you won't blame yourself too much or feel so guilty for things these things which are not really your fault and which you are unable to control.

There was a time not so long ago when I was as ignorant of my own depressed condition as those around me were. Some of them still are. I learned though that I was not responsible for my depression or the lousy way it made me under its influence. I also learned it was something I couldn't overcome by sheer will power.

The most important things about depression I've learned are that it is very treatable and there is much help available for both those of us who suffer from it and those who love us.

This is a fine web board you've found. There are caring people here who can relate with many of your experiences. I hope you will keep coming back here to read, to talk, to ask for help, anytime you need too.

Try to be patient with yourself. Give yourself some time. Find a quiet time and place in your house that you can look into a mirror. I'm serious. Hug yourself tightly, look into your own eyes and tell yourself these words: "I love you".

Hang in there,

B Day
