I'm battling depression (without anti-depressants, though I have a prescription sitting there on the counter) and sometimes hopelessness, both of which make it worse.

I'm doing a lot of the right stuff, exercising, getting out as much as I can. I just hope I can find happiness again but it has been very illusive...

Thanks Dan
