I remember you mentioned it in another thread. I might look into it if this guy doesn't wind up working out, but I hope he does because I really liked our first appointment and am so over starting anew with therapists haha.

It really sounds as though you need some help with that. I just don't think depression is something you can will your way out of sometimes.
Have you considered going to a psychiatrist and discussing medication?
I know I found that just a slight amelioration made it a lot easier to make the lifestyle changes I needed to make.

I have been to a psychiatrist before, but I do not want to be on medication. I cannot afford it anyway.
