Hi Piper888, we understand that feeling of depression kicking your buns. We really appreciate you sharing with us how you're feeling right now and commend you for reaching out here. I encourage you to also reach out to in-person support such as counselors, medical professionals, support groups, and more.

Also, if you ever need it, please do not hesitate to reach out the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 1-800-273-8255 or online at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/. I also wanted to share a series of articles about depression and RA.
