> Just wanted to let you know that I hear you and changing meds sucks. It helps me to know that I'm just riding a wave and that the darker thoughts pass if I can just distract myself. Distraction is pretty under-rated, i think.The distraction thing is the reason I am trying to stay out of the hospital right now. Even when depressed I still love my garden, enjoy seeing the neighbor's kids etc. But when the depression feels like it is hitting my core, it is so hard to hang in there and really hard to distract from that intensity of pain. Wow, I never thought that when I came to this board around this time last year, I would still be going through this. I am so thankful my doctor is supporting my use of an opiate to give me some control over the depression.
