Hello PamelaJune: I simply wanted to leave a brief note wishing you the best with regard to your ongoing struggle against depression & your appointment with your GP.
I've struggled with depression as well as anxiety plus a few other things for many years. I'm also no longer on antidepressants, or any other medications for that matter. I'm an older person though & no longer employed. I'm married. But otherwise I lead a pretty-much solitary lifestyle. And within the small world that I inhabit, I get along pretty well day-to-day. I do have a psychiatrist. I continue to see him periodically just to keep my foot in the door, so to speak, in case I require his services at some later date. He had been helpful to me in the past.
I send hugs your way with the hope that you will be able to find deep peace within...
