Hi Stina,

Wow, first, I want to welcome you to this forum. You picked a great bunch of people who visit regularly.
Second, I want to say how sorry I am that you are fighting depression at the moment. Boy, do I know what you are talking about. I started getting depression when I was 14. I am now 52. That's a long time. The only thing I can tell you is that it does get better. But, you probably already know this. And, I am proud of you for doing all the right things. Seeing a T and taking anti-depressants. I do hope they will work for you. It takes a couple of weeks to feel the difference and sometimes you have to try different ones but hopefully, with the right one, you will start to come out of this deep hole.
As much as your co-workers want to help, the truth is, they don't know how. Unless, you have had depression, and I mean real depression, IMO, I don't think a person can help another who is depressed. They don't know what it's like.
I hope you continue to see your T and I hope that soon, you will start to feel better.
In the meantime, keep coming on here just to talk, vent or just for a hug. We will be here for you.

Linda
