Thanks for the quick reply fayerody. I'm not seeing anyone for my depression or taking any meds, for several reasons, but mostly because I can't spare that kind of money right now. My sister is leaving for a job overseas the day after Christmas and I won't see her for another year and that has crushed me, but I'm happy for her, so I don't think that would have this massive effect on me. I'm sure my low point will eventually pass, but it doesn't seem like any time soon.
