Hello Fellow SPers
I found this article and podcast on FB, a link provided by a fellow suffered of depression (MDD). I found it to be honest, insightful and relevant. I hope people read it and click the blue listen button.
Some of you know I moved to Puerto Vallarta for the fall and winter in an effort to break the cycle of isolation and loneliness that were keeping me in despair and depression. I am doing pretty well and have had mostly good days with just a few down days. But nothing truly depressing. I’ve even been able to sleep all but two nights. I have local (Mexican) friends who spend time with me and have met some nice ex-pat people who have been here for years. Making PV my home for 6 months out of the year may just save my life!
Stay as strong as you can and try to keep on living. Shepard….. what’s up, Mate?

Buenos dias, Senor Jay – como esta usted?
I’m getting along okay, all things considered. It’s going to get harder from here, but the important things always are difficult, aren’t they? I could use a vacation as well, or at the very least, “time away from home”. I hope your nephew is recovering well too.
Good to see you as always, and buena suerte with your stay in Mexico (a place along the coast? Sounds awesome).

It good to hear things are going well for you. Stay in touch! I need to check here more often….with work and everything, I just don’t have much time anymore, but that’s kinda a good thing. Keeping busy keeps me from processing the things. It’s pathetic I guess, but it’s what keeps me alive for now. You said it right, breaking isolation and loneliness….the people I work with are cool. We are much like family I guess. They really don’t know fully what they mean to me and they wouldn’t understand. It does scare me though, cause if something happens to upset all this, I’m setting myself up for a serious crash. But my work and the people there is what I need to hold to for now to keep on going. Does that make sense?
