Yes, I am suffering a depression, it shows in the way I sleep, eat, what I can actually bring myself to accomplish right now here at home and at work (not much), and my total lack of interest in my art, music, friendship, and all the things that make me so "ME" and special. Not good. But I finally have my shrink appt. on Thursday and am looking forward to it.
And..... I am HAPPY today, if this makes any sense at all, that I am SOBER going through this, that I have options OTHER than pulling the plug back out of the jug. That I am in a wonderful scenario and environment in which to heal this time, I am no longer unable to take care of myself. I have people around me who love me to pieces, and let me know it by their words and actions. I am in the BEST possible scenario in which to battle depression, and I thank GOD for it. In this, some happiness can indeed find its way in.
I can be strong, because I am blessed with all that I need today!!
((((((((((hugs)))))))))))

Major depressive episodes are still are part of my life at times...I know my body well enough to know when I can't get out of it on my own. Seeking medical help is neccessary and the big book even talks about it. Staying sober through it has always given me much more awareness of my alcoholism and given me a better understanding of how the program works IF I work. I'm glad you're doing ok and hope it gets better quickly for you.
