Re: Depression, Anxiety

I have been following this thread for a while, with interest. I have been 'detained' for a period of time when my depressed state was considered dangerous for me. After reading pottery's comment above I thought I would add that the 'light at the end of the tunnel' appeared for me with the 'intervention' of dogs.
they provided unconditional love and affection and quite frankly forced me to get up and do things (with them). They needed to be fed, when I couldn't be bothered eating for myself. they demanded to be played with, when I couldn't be bothered doing anything.
I am NOT saying get a dog and your problems will go away, but I am saying that having some one, or something else in your life sometimes is a great motivator.
I have not been without at least one dog, since that time.
