@WIP no need to apologise, this is what we are here for.  To be the shoulder and ear when you need it.  I know its hard, keep your chin up, there is always hope. There is nothing you can't overcome, it is just going to take a little long and bit more work than you would like.  One step at a time and always remember it is a safe haven here. 🙂

@DJMasters  Thank you.

I feel like a burden though, always posting about how much I'm struggling and not having anything positive to contribute. 
I'm trying to keep my chin up, however I truely feel I'm fighting a losing battle. Depression is always going to win & lately it's been making sure I understand how much power and control it has over me, even though I keep trying (new meds again for example).

thanks again @DJMasters 

struggling,

@WIP Know you are never a burden and you are always welcome to share here.  Always here to listen and give you as much support as I can here.

You are stronger than any depression, even though it may not feel like it.  Just know you are not alone to fight this.  🙂

I feel very alone @DJMasters , but less so when someone, like you, on the forum taps me some words of encouragement.....So a very big THANK YOU!

Depression is a very strong beast & knows how to hit hard when you're struggling.

@greenpea Hey beautiful pea, love you. Hope everything is going okay there. Not bad here. Still at work for half hour.

@WIP I know what you mean. Remember what @DJMasters wrote. I wish there was something practical I could do to help (it's not so long ago that I felt similarly). I hope you've got the support (professional & non-professional) that you need right now or a plan to find it. You are more than just the depression. It tricks us & lies to us about our future. Today I wrote myself a letter (7 poinys) for next time I'm wavering (my chosen word for relapsing!). Willing to share it but I know that whilst there may be similar elements everyone's situation is unique. I'm hoping that relief will come to you soon.
