See I hate the talk thing ... and feel I am in touch with my own issues, I don't have anything to MAKE me particularly depressed, which is why it seems quite biologically based for me personally.

And yea part of my recipe for getting happy ... is definitely working hard ... it is part of CBT (being busy, occupied).

I understand the biologically based depression, because that's my problem too. I have nothing in my life to make me depressed, nothing big in my past to cause the depression, it's just genetics. The counsellors I've seen have all recommend AD's and they think I could really benefit from them - but in the end, it's my choice.

I think the thing that has worked for me the most, which my therapist never taught me, was the learn to live in the moment. Stop worrying so much and thinking about the future, just realize that the present is a one-time thing and by always trying to control it I'm making things worse of myself.

But yea..anyway, I feel like I am in touch with my issues too. Maybe more than I should be. I hate talk therapy, but I did it because I felt like I didn't have much else of a choice. The best course of action is the one that makes you happy...if AD's or other things are a part of that, then more power to ya.

good luck.
