Hey Curtis..

damn dude ... my sis fights depression, I know how tough it can be ... my thoughts are with you ...

Thank you all for the kind wishes. I start seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist later this week.

Good for you man. Keep your chin up, the worst thing I've seen from depression (wife, Uncle, fam friend) is that it's easy to let other people get you further down when they try to 'help'. Keep us posted if you're comfortable.

Man, the next person that tells me to "keep my chin up" when I'm depressed is going to get a face full of fist. I personally find it condescending. It does nothing to improve the situation, but you want to step in and say something positive. I get that, but Jesus H. Christ, don't make it sound like something you can just get over and be done with.

Curtis, I suck at saying these things, but I hope you find a way to come back to the middle and get on with life. We're behind you all the way.
