Hi Lexman,
Try not to get too discouraged. Being on an antidepressant doesn't mean you're weak. It means you're assertive in dealing with your depression and/or anxiety. Some people suffer from the same problems and never seek out a solution. You're taking action and trying to get better. It takes a very strong person to seek out help for their problems and to engage in the healing process.
Also, remember that sometimes when anxiety or depression is left untreated it can get worse. You're doing the smart thing by getting treatment now. I hope these are encouraging words for you.
K.
