This is extremely depressing. One thing that really gets my goat is my doctor constantly telling me about "mind over matter" etc. I am a really positive person but who wouldn't be depressed when they can never leave the house and hardly leave the bed for that matter, can't do anything for themselves, and know there is no cure for this? You can only cheerlead yourself up to a certain point. I feel like I've forgotten what it's like to be a part of the world.

Sorry you are feeling depressed. You don't have to be sick and feeling that way too. I think it's worth looking into.
