Hey Bubbasmom,
Welcome to the board. I'm new to the board as of last week as well, although I am not new to antidepressants, been off and on them for 10 years. It's certainly a tendancy to look at this as a failure on your part -- I know I've done the same thing. You tell yourself you're strong and competent, everyone looks at you as a strong and competent person, so why can't you beat this on your own. Please remember it's like any other illness. You don't blame yourself when you get the flu, do you? This is an illness that you need medication for. And yes, it IS a positive thing. It means you're taking the first steps toward getting back to a happy, functioning, joyful life. It is not a failure. It's a success. You're brave to take that first step and I applaud you. Let us know how you're do on it. I'm rooting for you!!
Theresa
