Hi Chuckleberry ~ I also felt as you do years ago. When I began to feel really bad, I sought out therapy. I went to several sessions, and the therapist sent me to my doctor for medication! So I went to the doc, and was put on an antidepressant and went back to the therapist. After more sessions, I was diagnosed with clinical depression. I've seen many therapists/psychiatrists and they've all agreed. So I'll be on medications for the rest of my life.  It took me awhile to come to grips with that, but since it's a "medical" necessity I guess there's nothing I can do about it. It's also hereditary, so thanks to my family. Trouble is, I gave it to my son.
Why not try therapy? It has done me a world of good, and it will help you too, I'm sure!! if I were you I'd see a good psychiatrist - perhaps find one thru word of mouth, or one that you have found rated on-line. You can also interview them before going for sessions. That way you can determine if you feel you'd "click" or not with them.
I do think you'd benefit from therapy and hope you'll try it. I wish you the very best. God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee
