I am also depressed. 2.5 years ago I had a kidney removed. That made my depression worse. Life can suck. I see a therapist and it’s helpful. I also have a dog and he is my best friend.

Hi there @azkidney57. I am so glad you have a dog. I think they always know when you need them. When I had my cervical surgery and was in bed for quite a few days, my Cavalier Roxie would cuddle up next to me on the bed for hours. Then all of a sudden she would look at me with an expression that said, "Are you ever getting up?" She got so excited when I did.

Enjoy your friendly dog and take a chance on a human being once in a while. They can help also.

May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
