Stevie, hope everything works out for you my friend!!! Sorry to hear the news but I don't believe it's as bad as you think. I went through a point in life going from job to job and things didn't look pretty but if you just try to wake up every day and keep yourself busy without thinking of things you'll be fine! :hattip:
 
I have some first hand experience with depression and quite a bit of second-hand.

There are about 20 comments here I want to respond to. A lot of times it is to say they are exactly right and also exactly wrong. There are many things being stated as absolutes that are not.

There are tremendous variations in causes and manifestations of depression and/or concurrent disorders. One size does not fit all.

For example some people like me should absolutely not take drugs - even prescribed by a shrink. Shrinks can be very ignorant and irresponsible. On the other hand I knew someone who listened to advice that she should not take drugs and ended up jumping from an 11th floor balcony - because she was depressed. If she had just stuck with the advice her shrink was giving her, she would probably be alive today.

For me, I find the best thing is to talk to people who are in the same boat. Easy for me because I am an addict so there are meetings of people like me all over the place and at least half the people there also have experience with depression. In many areas there are meetings specifically for people with depression.

I don't know what would be best for you Steve. I wish we could sit down and talk.

I'm glad you posted. One thing I know is there is hope.
 
I very much appreciate it all.

I was drunk and really feeling down when I made that post, feeling some what better today.

I expect highs and lows, just the lows are really low anymore, but I would not harm myself or anyone else. It's just all upstairs.

Really just gotta man the F up and better my situation for me and my woman and I'm sure things will feel a lot better.

Can I join that club too? I live in a hermitage in one of the most remote places ever and I discourage people from coming to visit. However I love my animals to death and even have a stroller so I can take the cats with me when I walk the dog. How fucked up am I?
