I am very, very deeply touched by the kind words, thoughts and actions of everyone and to 2thanks especially for his very touching diary.
Your words brought me to tears when I read each diary and every comment.
I would not be here except for you and your kindness.
I am now home from the hospital after being in for a week due to depression. I was very lucky to go in by myself for help. I am on a new medicine, viibryd, for my newest official condition, Major Depressive Disorder.
I learned a lot from the others that were in with me in my group. People had been placed in a ‘red’ or ‘blue’ group, with the difference being that the red people were alert, wanted help, could communicate, etc. Listening to the stories of the others in my group and talking to my social worker helped a lot.
I still have major league stress sources (health, roommate and teeth) but I hopefully can deal with each one better.
Mostly I just needed to get away to a space in which I could deal with everything.
When I got home just hours ago, and read the diaries I could not believe the outpouring of love and support and for that I know of no way to thank you other than to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
