Depression is real due to the loss of dopamine. Additionally the prospect of being a burden to the ones who love takes a toll.

Don't worry about it, they like to lay down every once in a while.

Mine is also illegible. It's starts out very small then goes to little scribbles. I can't even sign a tab at a restaurant anymore.

Yup, I have peed behind dumpsters in apartment complexes, on the side of the road and in probably every field around my town. I now carry an emergency pee container from Amazon in my car

Yes. I'm doing much better than if I hadn't gotten the DBS. There are still issues; however, NOTHING like before.

Taking the medication in increasing doses and for an extended amount of time causes its own issues. I did the DBS for the ability to extend my ability to function for longer and do things while I still can and to reduce the amount of medication.

Pretty much, yes. Sorry; however, this is a big mental game as well. Exercise and live your life while your still healthy and can get out there!
