Hi, I feel your pain. Seriously though I have been depressed time to time myself. I hope you get better soon.

Your not the only one who gets depressed. I get it all the time but everyone says my life is so sad it depresses them too. So I have good reason to be depressed. A hundred probably.

There is no sin in anti-depressents when needed. Especially in winter. its called SAD Seasonal affect depression...happens in winter, shorted daylight and less sun...I have taken them off and on for 40 years...Sometimes only a 4 month run on them is enought. Sometimes a year...Puts the brains chemistry back on track, expecially if undergoing a lot of stress. Long term stress depeletes the brain of certain chemicals needed to keep balanced...Those that bad mouth medication, never had a bad case of clinical depression...When things clear up, you can think more clearly and better able to handle the stressors in life..........

Its like telling a diabetic he doesn't need medication, just pray and think positive...yea right, like that cures diabetes, but I have heard some people make such stupid statement....

The have made PET scans of people with depression and people without it...it definately shows up on certain tests.......talk with your doctor, if he isn't interested, get a second opinion...be specific with symptoms....Thats necessary for proper diagnosis (in any disorder)
