I Battle Depression

@MsMontgomery No, I tried medications years ago and nothing helped me at all. I tried 4 different doctors at all and none of them seemed to want to help, just wanted me to take pills that didn't do anything.

@gmatthewb I understand.. but your situation isn't getting better right now & there are so many different antidepressants...or maybe something all natural... it would seem that you may need a little help right now. But, of course, that's your choice.

@MsMontgomery I have talked to my wife a few times about this. She says that my depression is not getting in the way of how I take care of her. I am still able to make her laugh often and comfort her when she cries. The only thing I cannot help her with is how sad she is that she cannot do anything to help me be happy. I remind her that she has the terrible disease, so she doesn't have to do anything for me.

@gmatthewb there is no magical pill to alleviate all symptoms, but I'm confident there is an antidepressant that can help....I did think you wanted help, based on your writing this story.
... I wish you happiness and peace, with whatever choices you make.

@MsMontgomery Ideally I would like a friend to chat with about things to help take my mind off all the sad stuff. Kind of to give me a break. Nobody in my family wants to talk with me and the few friends I have don't talk much at all, they seem to be more interested in wishing me well and getting on with their days. It would just be nice to have someone who knew me a little to help cheer me up at times.

Thank you for your wishes. I hope all is well with you and your family.
