Hi. I just joined the forum and am glad to have another resource for support.
I have been depressed for 30 years. Three major episodes -- the most recent lasted about 5 years. Hospitalized, medicated, etc., etc. I am so lucky, though, to have a good job and a truly wonderful and supportive husband.
I'm not sure if I'm entering (or in) another episode right now. I find that I dread coming to work (I'm a college prof), which I've never felt to this degree. I'm pretty good at "faking it" but it is draining me. And while most days I just want to stay at home, when I am home I sometimes wander around unable to decide what to do. I'm a "high-functioning" depressive, but I truly feel like that that part of me is fading.
Anyway, sorry for the long intro
