I'll have to agree w/ Shellie. Finding the right meds for me has completely changed my attitude.
Therapy has helped tremendously as well.Good Luck,

I think that is a problem that we all have, to learn to steer some of our feelings toward the positive. It is amazing how our tendency in depression is always back to the bad, even though good stuff and happened, and more good stuff with happen. It's not the pollyanna theory--just that there often are several ways to look at the same thing. FWIW, Shellie
