I've been in that zone...the one where nothing matters and you can't feel no matter how hard you try to conjure up feelings. After we separated I took anti-depressants for six months. Doing so helped me hold myself and "things" together. It wasn't easy admitting to myself that I needed the help. Going for it and getting it was the best thing I've done for myself. I encourage anyone trying to function through the fog of depression to seek help via a therapist and medical doctor. We all deserve a good quality of life and at times that can mean reaching out and asking for help. Thanks for stopping by Barry!

So many try to hide and deny, keeping them from getting the help they so desperately need. I have had close family members fight taking medication that would change their lives for the better.If a person is diabetic they take insulin every day or they could die. No stigma, just chemical. If a person needs to take a medication to live a productive and wonderful life, as you said, it is just chemical. just putting things back in balance. Great post.
