I'm not clinically depressed, but I am down about our political situation, plus my own medical one.

I'm two months out from having my right knee replaced, and my progress has been glacial. My other knee was much faster, probably due to the fact that I was five years younger! Anyway, it does get me down. And the political mess is not helping.

I have to distract myself, plus talk to my therapist, which really helps.

Connecting with other people can help, especially if you like them, and vice versa!
