Finally decided to give in and go to PSY and therapist.
Good for you :)
But please don't think of your seeking help as "giving in." I suffer from anxiety and depression, but I haven't found the COURAGE to go for professional help.I have been on it for a month and 3 weeks now.. I want to stick with it. Don't want to give up to soon because it has helped with my depression.
Sounds like you are making progress because *something* is helping you with the depression, and you are not giving up too soon because you are seeking answers.
I just recently found this site, and I think you will probably get some answers here. The people who have responded to my posts have been concerned and kind. I have read numerous "threads" that seemed to be posted by knowledgeable professionals. But don't believe everything you read!
One suggestion--if you enjoy flowers, you might begin a small garden or get a few special houseplants. Nothing lifts my depression like seeing new, soft green leaves unfurl or watching the progress of a delicate flower as its petals unfold. yes--I'm probably weird ;)
Don't give up.
