Hello.

** WOW... Yes, I battle DEPRESSION really bad, too. Mine was brought on by a series of events, incl. injuries that still cause me intense chronic pain, job problems, deaths of parents, financial struggles, marital battles, living in five houses in less than one year and the stress and difficultuy of moving each time, and a few more things. All this took place from 2001 - 2003 and I have been battling the depression ever since... and it justs get worse and worse... not any better at all!

Yes, I have been to counseling, tried two different anti-depressants, and more. But, I am worse today than in 2001. If not for my strong Christian faith, my family needing me, and a couple of other items, I would not see a reason to keep living... I think I would be gone by now.

I am also on lots of pain Rx. for the Chronic-pain (This Rx does not help the depression, I know!), have a high stress job, and still battle marital problems. I am at my wits end -- the last knot on the "rope ladder of life." Does any body have any suggestions or sources of help?

Hi Lee,wellcome to healingwell,

sorry to hear you are feeling down at the moment, I'm new here,

but there are a lot of caring people here, so you'r not alone,

Someone here posted a nice Christion website                         http://www.andiesisle.com/   ( I hope that's allright to say here)

I found it very up lifting. and I try to do a little something each day

that I enjoy doing, we all deserve a bit of time for ourselves,

are you taking any anti-depressants at the moment? if not,it might

be a good idea to see your dr.  and find the right anti-depressant

for you. I couldnt cope without mine.

            

                                    keep posting

                                           love Shelby
