Hi Matt ~ So what are you DOING about all this. It's good to talk about it but you also have to DO something about it too. You can't expect it to magically go away.

Have you seen your doctor about your depression? You need a physical to make sure that there isn't anything wrong. Then, if everything is ok, he can refer you to a good therapist. Therapy is EXCELLENT for depression. I've been thru therapy, and it works great.

If you don't want therapy, you can always take an anti-depressant. When I was in therapy, my psychiatrist diagnosed me with clinical depression -- which is where the hormones and chemicals in the brain are lacking, and therefore had to be replaced by an anti-depressant. Also, I'd have to take this medication for the rest of my life!! So I began the medication (which worked great, by the way) and continued with therapy. I'm so glad I did, as I had many issues that I didn't know I had!

So see your doctor. You MUST be your own advocate, as no one else will be. If you want to get well, you must DO something about this! God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
