After being divorced twice, living alone for the past 6 years and being in the early stages of HD, I understandably struggle with depression. I'm a voracious reader. When I'm battling negative thought patterns, I find reading to be very cathartic. Reading reminds me that, in life, anything can happen. HD is a solvable problem. There will be a cure in my lifetime. Given enough time I will find my soulmate (third time lucky, and all that).
