WE are supportive! If you do not keep trying you let the #*%!# doctors win! There are so many insensitive clods out there (I know I had to deal with one today). Everything feels so much harder when you are tired, frustrated, and down. And I think that once you have a diagnosis of depression they latch on to this as the "easy" way out and stop looking (I took anti-depressants for 11 years and no one listened when I said I wasn't depressed. Now with CPAP I am off them and guess what--not depressed).

Please hang in there and keep trying. You can prevail!
