I understand

and I am sure many of us pacers do understand depression. From what i have read here, many of us do go through depression after a pm implant. It is important that you do get a grip as you say. it did take me a while. Then I realized how fortunate I was to have been diagnosed by a doctor (as we traveled in our rv) who didn't know me and got me immediate help. When I think about it, I count my blessings and there are many.
we did survive. I am not an expert as many on this site are, but i do wish you the very best. Ann
