@fyrehoose Hi Michael and welcome to Connect.
Congratulations on your transplant. I had a liver transplant in September 2016 in Boston.
I’m sorry to hear you’re suffering from depression. Can you identify what may be causing it at all? As Rosemary commented, perhaps medications could cause it. I did not have depression but medications can affect each person differently. I do often feel sadness that a family is grieving, but I cannot change that, I can only pray for them. The article in the link that Rosemary sent is very good. I just re-read it to refresh my mind. I hope you can find some worthwhile strategies in it.
If your depression continues you should seek some help. I know many people find great success in counseling.
I will be thinking of you, and hoping that you will feel better soon.
JK

@fyrehoose
Realizing you are depressed is half the battle
Understanding what makes you depressed is the puzzle.
My problem is I have so many things to be depressed about...Im overwhelmed. So since I cant figure it out...I let it all go and focus on one little thing I can do to make someone feel happy each day. Every night I think about that one thing I did.
It helps me...
When that doesnt work...get on this Connect line..we are here for each other.
