Hi guys. I hope this question makes sense. I live with chronic diseases and I have been feeling very sad and empty for the last three months at least. Being diagnosed with another condition - depression scares me. I feel like I am always the problem and I ask myself why can't I just be normal. When did you get diagnosed with depression? What made you go to the doctor's office? Should I go see a specialist? Thank you x

Hi @WillowG

How are you doing today?

Getting diagnosed with chronic illnesses can be scary. It means you have something else to worry about day to day. But you can also look at a diagnosis as an explanation as to what is happening to your body.

When did you get diagnosed with depression? What made you go to the doctor's office? How long did it take you to be diagnosed?
