I truley believe work will help with the depression , it will help with the feeling of despair and uselessness and just the total lost feeling in general and your mind will be busy with all the other things ..work things ..to worry about all we have done and been through ...Not that it isnt always there it is , and it creeps up on us ......but when atleast when I went back to work it wasnt sitting right next to me all day like it was at home !

Joined: May 2007 Posts: 231 | My wife says the same exact thing Shar. She tells me if Im out then I dont just sit here and dwell on stuff. You are both right and yes we have been through a lot and its time to put it behind me and move on with my life. When I started this thread I never thought for a second that I would get a response like this. Thanks again to each and every one of you.

Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking and praying for you. Just take it slow when starting back. Marvin did good when he started back to work. Made him feel better. He does get tired but he said it is a good tired.
