Thank you for suggesting that. The plan of action my doctor gave me (years ago) was very similar to this.

Have given some thought about it lately considering what I have gone through over the last 5 1/2 years!
Prostate, Bone, Skin Cancers. Now COPD, with Nodes on lungs, and then lately Friggen Brain Surgery 
Going through a whole lot more just trying to sustain living day to day! Lot of thought given, but I feel I am stronger than that! 
Hell if anybody has a right to pull the pin, I feel I do!
So never ever give me shit, I have been there but have not given in yet!
Just a word to others!!! Contact me or some other really neat folks on G C! |
Thank you Tom.

I agree, not easy but over the years, for me it's gotten easier. Sharing helps me possibly help someone else.

I've suffered from depression most of my life, and I've had some period where I've done meds and others where I just try and cope. Honestly for me, its about knowing the threshold for myself as to when me trying to cope on my own isn't going to cut it and seeking out additional help either through therapy or medication. Another thing that has really helped during the down periods I've had over the years is my faith. Not that I'm beat someone over the head with a bible religious but, I do believe in God and a higher power beyond myself in this world which lets face it can super stink sometimes.
I think each individual is different but I do hope the cloud lifts for you.

I deal with it day by day as I would imagine you do as well. We have different coping mechanisms.
I'm not "going through" anything right now but I have my moments and find ways to work through them. I was just curious how others deal with their situations.
Thank you for sharing also.
