thomas has a point. i can't remember what the lites are called but there are lites you can sit near for something like 30-60 min's that are like getting real sunshine. i tried it and it seemed to help.

the cognitive therapy is also what i did many yrs ago. it really helped give me tools to deal with the depression and the negative little voice in my head telling me i was worthless.

with the help of medication it all turned my life around mentally. i'm so much healthier now. i've tried several meds. sometimes you need to make a switch. and, sometimes you need to try one, give it a chance, and switch to another if it doesn't work. but, once you find one med that works for you it's like you can see the forest for the trees.

right now i'm on lexapro. i do well on it.
keep us posted.
