I Battle Depression

I was doing so much better for several months but for the past few days I've been descending into the depths again. Seems to always happen around this time of year. I'm aware that if I were to start my antidepressant again then it would most likely get better but when I sink into depression I seem to resist help. I guess I must deserve it for being so stubborn.

you don't deserve to feel that way. if they make you feel better, then don't resist. too much time will pass, and once you feel better again, you'll look back and realize depression stole a lot.

Thanks. I did actually call yesterday morning to try to get a new prescription but haven't heard back yet. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 weeks to get a response from the VA. The recording always tells me to hang up and call 911 if I'm thinking of hurting myself. I'm not at that point yet. I'm familiar with the signs and I'm still a long way from there.
