It is hard to deal with people (like your work) who don't understand depression.I'm sorry that you are having a hard time. Good for you for taking the steps to see a T and take meds, I hope that these will help you start to feel better. You are right that it does take time so don't get discouraged if you don't feel better right away. I hope that you will be able to find some of the support you need on this site. lots of good wishes to you.
