Leed's comment about finding the right therapist is very true and also very important. If you are going to find relief from your pain, you will need to talk, sometimes about personal things. If you don't have the right therapist, its unlikely that you will open up fully.

Is your therapist a psychologist or psychiatrist? The psychiatrist can perscribe medications, while the psychologist can't. You may need something to help you temporarily while you are going through the worst of your pain. Some people have both a psychiatrist and psychologist, though that sounds a bit expensive for most people. Its possible that a psychologist could work with your family physican and he could perscribe some meds.

Leed is right, you are an important person. No one deserves to go through depression. Sometimes I think that the pain of depression exceeds many physical pains and illness. Its emotional, can't really be detected by physical tests, tends to alienate people whereas physical illness often brings visitors and sympathy or empathy. Many people are uncomfortable talking about emotional feelings with someone who is suffering from them and that leads to feelings of isolation and being "unworthy" of help.

If you aren't already, try keeping a journal of your feelings that you can look back on. A journal will help you identify triggers that make you worse and those that make you feel better. Trying to remember things without a journal can be difficult and may cause feelings of uncertainty as to what you were feeling on a certain day. You can use your journal as a personal guide, or take it with you to therapy. If you have it with you, it will serve to help you tell your therapist what you were feeling and when. It may help your therapist help you even more.
