Depression can be a very serious illness -- I've been dealing with it since I was a very small child and for many years, it ruled my life. Now I've got a handle on it, and I rule IT. Therapy was VERY instrumental in helping me deal with it and I'll never regret going. So please make an appointment!

Also, be VERY careful with the Xanax -- it is extremely addictive!! I became addicted to it very quickly after my doctor prescribed it for anxiety. It was very very difficult to withdraw from. Don't stop abruptly from taking it, as that is very dangerous. Just a word of warning.

Again, I hope you'll make an appointment for therapy. I wish you the very best. Take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee

Great advice Leed!
