Depression sucks.

And there's not a lot more than that to say.

My parents know a psychologist who does disability evaluations in Spokane, Washington.  When the subject of my foot trouble and the continuous pain came up in connection with applying for disability, he said, "Of course he's depressed.  Everyone who's in constant pain is depressed."

I hate that it's so hard to find joy in anything any more, or find sufficient motivation to do things.

No, I didn't say that. But in the case of antidepressants, I'm pretty much at a position of "Fool me THREE times?!? How stupid do I look?"

Frankly, the very thought of trying antidepressants again after the last experience makes me shudder. I really truly don't know how to convey how horrible it was. Let's just not go there.
