I have had a rollercoaster ride with depression most of my life. It seems to go hand and hand with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. There are very few days where I feel “normal” and “happy”, but then again it's very rare to have days where I'm really down in the dumps. But when those days hit, it's pretty bad.

Depression is one of the most aggravating and annoying symptoms/side effects of Hashimoto's that I deal with. Do any of you suffer from depression? How do you handle it? Or is it too overwhelming to handle sometimes? Most of the time I can handle it fairly well, but sometimes I just get so worn down that I tend to want to crawl inside my little shell and not come out for a while…
