If you can't see your therapist, can you at least see your medical doctor and get on an antidepressant? He could give you some samples, I'm sure! Please don't say you dont' want to take "drugs." Medications can save lives -- and they can make life worth living again! They saved MY life. I didn't want to live anymore and I did have thoughts of ending my life.

I've been depressed since I was a small child and I'm now 63. So as you can see I've been depressed for MANY years! Both my parents were alcoholics who fought physically many nights of the week. They paid NO attention to us 4 girls. NONE whatsoever, and I have NO idea why they had children. 2 of us were planned, and 2 of us were mistakes. Nice to know isn't it that you're a mistake?

I got treatment in my 20's and I've been on antidepressants ever since. I also have been in therapy off and on most of my adult life. I have since "graduated." LOL

Please ask your medical doctor about antidepressants. You WILL feel "normal" again, whatever that is. LOL But life will be more fulfilling and more of a joy to live. Please call him. God bless you and take care. Hugs, Lee

I am on two meds right now and I know they work just in the process of starting them again since I stopped. I attend therapy normally once a week but my finances are funny this month so I can't see her even at tha reduced rate.
