@johnhans It's a lot of work, isn't it, to keep the deep dark thoughts at bay? I have had depression, too, and know that it takes work everyday to deal with it. While I have not had suicidal ideations I can certainly understand how people can get to that point in their lives. You do us all a great service by posting here and talking to us, just like @jimhd does. I really think that having the two of you post has helped make a difference in lives of others.

Yes @gingerw it can be a lot of work. Even though I have primarily chemical depression, it is still work as I have discovered that there are still other things that make it worse. Like all people I am affected by circumstances. Also food I eat, which for me is anything that has a stimulant. That is why I have previously recommended using a journal to record what is happening and what you are doing and what you are eating to see if there is any correlation between them.
