Hi Darkmoon,
First, I want to welcome you to the forum. This is a great bunch of people and I hope you stick around.
Second, I would like to tell you that there are alot of us who stay depressed most of the time.
I started getting depressed when I was fourteen and have struggled ever since.
I have been on anti-depressants for a few years now and it has helped me tremendously, so you might want to rethink that one.
Come on anytime and let us know how you are doing or you can pm anytime.
Good luck to you,
Linda
