Hi All, such sweet replies. I am glad I have found some allies in fighting this. I am going to volunteer tomorrow--it helps. I hope so bad to feel better soon. I have been dealing with this my entire life, but I am not sure I have ever been in such a "wave" of depression. I just don't remember it being this bad before, it may have, but I just don't remember. I am actually thinking about going back to my old doctor even though he did me wrong with Paxil. My current doctor is not really sympathetic to this condition, thinks the depression is caused by vitamin etc imbalance. He has me so loaded up with supplements but they are just not helping. I think I need someone a little more sympathetic to this. I am hanging in there, glad I found this site with some others who can relate to what I am going through. Thank you.
