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.

I can hope medical research continues to look into different solutions, since we too often fall into one-size-fits-all treatments. I have more than a little interest in that my grandfather, grandmother, and father's brother were all in medicine (and I almost went into pharmacy, myself).
