thanks for the advice. I'll keep it to myself. I've found that when I'm not feeling well (often due to medication side effects--I'm pretty good at covering up the depression part), I can get away with admitting to feeling sick and going with whatever assumptions the person I'm talking to makes.

And because of it all, you'll be a stronger wiser person because of it. Just remember, EVERYBODY has peaks and valleys. You just happen to be in one of those valleys. It won't last. But until it passes, keep it personal and private. Just my opinion.I admire your optimism and wish I could share it. The depression has been around for much of the time since I was 13, and I'm pretty sure it'll continue for the rest of my life. The treatment thing is relatively new--started last summer; I seem to be able to get a few good weeks, then things fall apart, I have new and more disturbing (to me at least) symptoms, and there's another med change.
