We have a former cutter who participates - let me see if I can find her. She gives great, experienced advice.

Antidepressants can and do sap your energy - it's a common problem.

Did your relationship end because of your depression? Have you tried talking to a professional about your issues? Sometimes just having someone listen is most helpful.
