Just found this so I am going to work on incorporating the journal into my support network. Tomorrow I will be going to a Mended Hearts support group for the first time. I\'m hoping there will be people who understand cardiac depression and can give me some ideas to work my way through it.
I am from: Rensselaer, New York
