Hi, BJ-

I can relate! I have been diagnosed with depression/anxiety, and it is a constant battle. You have got to commit yourself to beating it, and it's a long road. I would suggest that you set your goals for your hunt as ONLY being a time to relax and enjoy the outdoors. If you set the taking of a deer as your goal, and don't get one, that may set you up for a depressive episode. I speak from experience. I come home more often than not just about ready to throw my bow/flyrod/gun away, but I know that isn't the right answer and it's not healthy.

Remember - you're fighting a DISORDER - it's NOT you!!!!!
