Have been following and wanted to add my two cents.
My depression started about the time that GM became Government Motors, whom I work for. Not a big money job, but decent money and decent benefits. If you can think back to late '08, when they were talking bankrupcy for the car makers, that's when things started going to pot for my M. My wife says she has tried by herself to make things better for a year. B.S. In my guilt, I thought that I had pushed her to this. She's the one who suggested I was depressed. Yeah, right, I thought. I went to my Dr., talked, tests.....what do you know, she was right and I never saw it.
"Damn depression. Unbelievable how much it can strangle a person. Oh to be able to go back two years and change the way I handled things. I know not to get into "what ifs". The past is the past. All I can do now is make changes for me to become a better person. "
Amen to that.
We can become better people. Everyone has room for improvement. I wish this would get better overnight now that I "get it", but we know it won't. Patience is the key, I guess, and that's what I have to really keep in mind.
