Here are many tight, close, breath-defying hugs to you both. Racer, I agree with KK, and I know that another p-doc is probably in order. Of course, that doesn't help you now, but I truly believe that he's the one with the problem, not you. And Antigua, every day we wake up is another victory. Please don't let this slimey black monster drag you further down. Our meds, therapy and babble combine to be a big stick with which to beat depression.
I have had a rough few days and no longer trust any "good" ones I have. I have tried pretending to be OK and just carrying on as if nothing's wrong, but that's not true and it doesn't feel right to lie to the world, to myself. So I'm having a bad day? If I make it through without crying in public, that's a victory. If I can shop for a few items in a grocery store without gasping with panic for 5 minutes, that's a victory.
Our wins are measured in slight, insignificant measures. Reaching out to Babble is a very powerful thing. Take the strength you find here and take it to your heart. We can only get through this together. The monster wants to isolate us from our families, from our friends, from the world outside. The love and care you get from all of us will help you heal and recover.
