    Be careful, Joe.
    I have been there as well, and can attest to the dangers of depression left untreated too long.

    Ive posted maybe 3 times total combined in all your threads, so maybe I dont have any right to give advice, but concerning depression, I'm going to. Get outside help and get an opinion. I gave up a great job, lost my house, my motorcycles, my Dog, everything, because of depression. It can spread like a cancer and you dont notice the damage until its too late. There isn't anything macho about "dealing with it" If its a chemical imbalance, its not going to go away. I have no blood family, but I am blessed to have amazing, supportive friends, who are my shining light at the end of the tunnel.

    You have alot of people who care for you on here. Just remember that Buddy

    Last week was strong too. After delivery in Rochester, MN deadheaded up to Eagan and teamed with a driver out to Caldwell, ID, then a load with 5 stops all over LA. Now on a crap load from Maricopa, CA to Woodburn, OR, then picking up in Tacoma, WA to La Grande, OR. Gotta talk to Caldwell to tell them enough of the garbage.

    Dang, I'm at the rest area at the 580 split doing my union mandated 30. Now I can't wave. I knew I should have stopped in Lodi, there wasn't a line at the Beacon either.

    I deal with it as well, along with my wife (far worse than I). I can completely relate, man. Take good care....and we do care!
