i'm sure you know that medicating depression isn't an exact science..in anyway shape or form....so it's important to see a pdoc on a regular basis (preferrably once a month or more often if possible) to keep a close eye on how you are doing and adjust or change your meds as needed.

Gratitude.....find at lease 1 thing each day to be thankful for. (even that you haven't ran out of toilet paper yet)

ECT....is an option you might talk to a good and very qualified pdoc about...and do some internet research on. It can be very successful and the risks involved are often quite less than those involved with the meds we put in our bodies.

Don't ever let yourself give up.....you know that it's not the same every day and that there ARE days when things are better. Focus on those days and be patient while in the bad ones.

Give it over to a higher power.....even if that be the universe or the wind or whatever....hand it over and know that it will be taken care of in the way it is meant to be.

And keep coming here....and talking.

Most of all.....don't give up....hang in there. You can do it. And it's definetly worth it!
