Sweetie, why are medications a "last resort?" Why are you making yourself SO miserable when you can feel almost "normal' with medications?
I KNOW a lot of us don't want to take medications, but I've HAD to take them for the last 30 years cause I have a SEVERE case of depression, and without them I just cannot function! There's nothing so horrible about taking meds. There are some that don't have severe side effects. I'm on Cymbalta 60mg twice a day now, and I dont' have ANY side effects from it. And it works very well for me! I thank God there are meds out there that can control this awful depression.
Please talk to your doctor, and get on something so your life can be better than it is. And by the way, I'd like to talk to your BF -- he's a real JERK. Does he think that you WANT to feel like this? Doesn't he understand that Depression is a disease? What's the matter with him? He sure isn't very compassionate!  He's not very understanding or patient. It seems he's only thinking of himself! I think I'd want to tell him to take a walk!! How dare he call you "whiny." Creep!
I can only HOPE that he gets a case of depression some day so that he knows how it feels. THEN let him come back and ask for understanding. HAH! I hope you call him a "WHINY BRAT."
Talk to your doc, hon. He CAN help you. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
