As mentioned, I went through a stage of depression, which I kept to myself. When it finally passed my family, who I fell out with due to my not wanting to speak to anyone, dismissed my depression as rubbish, even though I was in tremendous pain with multiple joints affected and full knee replacement impending. I had marital problems, so stayed with my brother and mother, 6 days before my operation he told me to leave, which brought my depression back. Luckily, a good friend and his wife took me in and has helped me through my difficult times. Without him and the love of my young children I would have been lost. My point is you can get through it but may need help. Sadly that help is not always there for some people. I was lucky.
