Carl,
I just stumbled across this thread, May I first say I'm so sorry that you had to endure such tragedy. It never really hits home until a "family" member goes through it and your lit family loves you.
I too have battled with depression for years, I've accepted it not as a mental problem but a disease. I can't control the chemicals that ame things wrong, but I can understand how to not let it pull me down. It's always lurking in the shadows for me, sometimes calling out to me to remind me that it is still there, but I choose to ignore it and see it for the beast that it is.
There is a good site that helped me:
wing of madness.com it has a lot of information and it's amazing when you see that so many others are just like us.
Keep up with your meds, that's very important! and If you ever feel like you're starting to slip, please PM me and we'll get through it together.
I'm sending you a real big, tight, crushing hug and a pat on the back for being able to rise above everything at this point.
Please keep your family here posted on your progress and know we are behind you all the way.
~A~
