[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 297263, member: 1545"] Hi Heather - As you may/may not know, my husband has struggled with depression to the degree that you described. He has attempted suicide twice. He nearly died as a result in November of this year. He has struggled to varying degrees for more that 12 years. My message to you is that there is HOPE. For the first time in nearly 13 years, my husband is doing well. He self describes himself as 'happy' and 'content'. It is a miracle in my opinion. I wish I could tell you what his 'magic cure' was. I don't know. Partly, the realization that he didn't really want to die. That his family needs him so much. After his suicide attempt, he got really serious about his therapy. He has some stuff from his childhood that he had to work out. He realizes that he can't work. He had to mourn that loss. And slowly but surely, he crawled out of "escapetown" and back into the land of the living. You can get better. One tiny step at a time. And then what a wonderful story you will have to share with others who have been in the pit. Think of how you'll be able to minister to them. Prayers and hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
