Don't give up on your womens group. The longer you have possitive support with friends the easier it will get. It sounds like you've had a lot of bad experiences in the past. I belong to a seniors social group and they are not near as judgemental as younger people. Although I'm not that old, I feel a lot of support from them. If you have the time, you should find an excercise group that meets the same time about three times a week. It's easier to stick with it if it's a regular part of your schedule. You can look at your local community centers, or join a health club group. You can also look on Meetup.com for groups in your area. Meetup.com also has a lot of other groups that you might enjoy. The right meds can help make it easier but stick with drugs that have a prooven track record and I don't believe you should ever be on more than two drugs for the same problem. Every person responds a little different to each drug. You may have to switch drugs a couple of times to get the one that's right for you. Make the prescriber explain exactly why they think that drug might be good for YOU. I know it's tough to force yourself to get out there when your down but once I found the right groups, it really helped me. Anti-depressants won't keep you happy all the time but they sure can help to take away the lows that have no good reason.Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. Good luck.
