I noticed you hadn't received a reply yet which is unusual on this forum so I thought I would say hello!
It's great you have joined Cancer Chat as you will be able to talk to others in the same boat and hopefully this will help you feel less isolated. Make sure you mention your feelings of depression to your doctor as they will be able to help.
Our information page on Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia may be useful to you but perhaps even more useful to you is this threadhere by jennymac who also has CML so don't hesitate to drop her a line! She also asked how other people cope with CML so perhaps you can support each other.
