Since Your Mesothelioma Diagnosis How Has Your Depression Changed?

I have suffered from depression for a long time. And I was afraid when I got diagnosed that this was really, really going to overwhelm me and take me further down. But it hasn't. Having it and having the people around supporting me the way they do, I don't feel depressed anymore. I don't cry anymore like I used to. I don't understand it, but I think it's just the people and the support that I get. It's been incredible. It really, really has. There was a waiting time where I was actually suicidal. And I can remember thinking, Oh my gosh, you know, having cancer is going to be. You know? But then, I don't know, with everybody who came out, it was just amazing. And I haven't felt that way in a long time. I haven't had that mood or cried. It's amazing. I don't go out as much as I used to, but I seem to enjoy what I have around me more than I ever did before. Yeah.
