Answers:
I suffer from Major Depression and Anxiety with anger issues, and 2.5 years ago I tried to kill myself. If my wife or I had recognized the signs of what was going on with me I would have gone to see a Psychiatrist. Unfortunately, neither one of us did and I almost died.

Depression sucks! What ever you do...do NOT miss your appointment. They are there to help you, so there is nothing to worry about.

Actually, depression does effect a person's health. It lowers your immune system, effects your weight, effects sleep patters, effects your memory and concentration. People who are suffering from depression usually have a tendency to isolate themselves from others.

After my suicide attempt, I was in a regular hospital for about week, because of a problem with my leg. One of the other reasons I had attempted to kill myself was I was in pain with my leg (it had almost doubled in size) and when I when I was in the hospital I was diagnosed with severe DVT.

I spent about a week in a regular hospital and once I was discharged, I went and self-admitted myself into a behavioral health hospital, where I stayed for another week. When I got out, I admitted myself into their day program and I was in that for 6 months.

Now, I only see a Psychiatrist and Therapist, but I'm doing better these days.

You have the courage to go through with this, the doctor will help you. and pretty soon your depression will be gone, you have made the first step, all you have to do is put one foot in front of the other.. I will think of you tomorrow, and send you all of my best thoughts. Here's a hug to get you through.
