Deb,
I still struggle with depression. Once you get that deep into it, it is always there; just eventually learn the signs and like I mentioned; just need to go out; if only for a walk; but get away from those thoughts that take you to a dark place.

I hope you find a church or some sort of group in your neighborhood. It is good to mingle among others; of course, you will have to give them a chance; they are often dealing with their own uncertanties and doing the best they know how.

Glad you are able to share your feelings here. I kept my feelings of depression to myself for years. It was only after my children became adults that I mentiond some of what was going on. I was always one to try to cover up my feelings. Better to share.

Deb, I agree with Alffe about tapering off meds. I think the pharmacist is a good place to discuss this with.
