Good news and bad news:
The good news is I've finally made it to the brighter side of a killer depression. The kind that is life threatening. Part of it is the isolation and the loneliness. I stay desperate for someone, anyone to talk too. The good news is Part of how I beat it. Some of what physical therapy is doing can seem silly, but I can feel it working. while I am nowhere close to walking, I can see a light and it doesn't have a train whistle. The bad news is the depression keeps coming back, but I fight it however I can. I have several electronics articles/projects more than half finished, with the artwork finished, I just need to write the text The art schematics, layout take a long time but are fun to do. This may sound conceited I usually am pretty sure a design will work before I build it if it doesn't it is icing on the cake, I learn something new.
If you are in the United states and want to talk send me a PM we can trade phone numbers and talk, I'll try not to chew your ear off.
I am down to 154 pounds, maybe less, I used to eat when I got depressed, apparently not any more.

This sad wornout laptop
is my lifeline to the world, it is my copping mechanism. One I rely on.Just wish I could see it clearer. I keep the magnify option in my taskbar, It isn't actually my eyes, somehow the stroke has affected how my mind processes my vision.
for better magnification
free program i put on for older people called magical glass. just do a google search, it has many options a moving field, a line, the whole screen.

Hard fight
People who don't have depression or are dealing with someone who has depression don't know how hard a fight it is.
Depression run in my family not everyone but enough, my brother tried suicide twice while my sister and I are happy and lucky going.
Good luck keep up the fight it is not easy.
