Hi Tricia, In regards to what you wrote to (lupiesgirl) wow can I relate to her at this point just being newly DX and the fears this all gave me, I have so many goals and dreams and now I'm afraid to go ahead with them, One being for my partner and I do have a baby she has a son 8 I have a grown daughter 20 but she wants to have a baby and we have our doner but then we were hit with this. This is a big factor I dont want my partner left with so much more she has been more supportive in this then anyone (Kasandra) I know how inp this is to her so what should I do?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2004 Report Share Posted March 31, 2004 I wish I could give you sound advice on how to deal with depression. I don't think there is any. Yes, you should maybe speak with a professional, but that doesn't always help either. When I get depressed (which I don't do that often), I know I force myself to see the good things in my life, even if very little things. Also, if I really need to, I do cry and that gives me relief. I'll just rent a tear jerker and make sure I can quietly suffer through it. Then when I have relief from the tears, I try to look for funny stuff. It's not as easy as saying it, but I know I've found a way to deal with my depression. There's also different stages of depression and my never gets too deep, so it is easier said than done. Also, take some time to do things for yourself. Get a massage, manicure, a new hairdo. Go buy yourself a nice outfit, or something that you really want. Take a day off, and please do not think about " man on the moon " while you are sick and suffering. There is nothing you can do about it, you will just grow more depressed. Please take care of yourself. We are here for you and will try to help you as much as possible. Mojo Depressed > I don't know where to turn to talk to when I feel this low.
