Need your help....

Okay, friends, I need to be honest about this.

I'm fighting this wicked depression, and I need your help. Can you tell me a story of a happier time we shared? Have I been kind to you in some small way? Do you have any words of encouragement for me? Have we shared a laugh?

This is the time to let me know. This black cloud in me is trying to edge out every good memory. It tells me I have always been alone, and that I always will be alone. It tells me I have no friends. It tells me that love, and peace, and joy were only temporary illusions. I know my black cloud lies, it's sneaky like that. But still it insists....

PS Yes, I have enlisted the help of the professionals (a doc, and a therapist update: a psychiatrist, some good drugs, a community psych nurse and assorted outpatient programs LOL) in this fight, just in case you were wondering. But it's not enough. I'm gonna need your help, too.
