You're right Joey some folks need the assistance of anti depressants, just like I need my Synthroid for hypothyroidism. But if working with ones hands helps anyone fight off depression its worth a try :D
I totally agree. This quilt I called "Out of My Depression" is what helped me. The more I worked on it, the better I felt. When I finished it, I felt an actual release.
