I've been mildly depressed for months and it got really bad within the last month or so. Finally made the big step and saw a counselor this past week who I'll see weekly. Sent me to a doctor who diagnosed me with major depression and started me on effexor which I've now been on for three days.

Trying to understand how I let things get to this point. I've always been the rock that other people have depended on for support. Now I'm the one in need of help but I don't know who to turn to. I look forward to talking to you folks.
